Hi Sean,

Very probably - XORing the syncs seems enough to prove the concept actually works; but in the long term it's not ideal. There's half the correct number of pulses and those that are there have the negative-going transition delayed by the width of the line-sync pulse compared to where they should be.

Now I've got that Pye monitor (thanks again for bringing it, that was really appreciated) I have a much better display device (after I've refurbished it a bit) which will help with hardware improvements - the first is to devise means to generate syncs which bear some relationship to the standard. I think a PLL may be involved.

Still, I don't think it's too bad for an experimental system; it even worked from booting up right through the day with no problems
