Re: //e enhanced -- display problem??

["Watters" <jnkw@xmission.com>]

I connected the //e to the television, and it seems to have the same
problem.  I got the items separately, and actually didn't consider that it
could be a PAL/NTSC problem.  It seems to be that is when the problem occurs
is when anything color is on the display.  Is there a way to differentiate
between the two (PAL/NTSC) by model #?

I was not aware you could get RGB video cards for the //e.  Kind of off the
subject, but anybody know where I can find one?
