After a forced break (moving to a new house), I'm back, the english version of this entry may not be very meaninfull to you (unless you collect manuals no matter the language they're written on ;))

Click to download the spanish version of the Simons BASIC manual, it have a pecularity, Commodore is translated as 'computadora' (computer) for some obscure reason. The quality isn't the best since it's been scanned from a copy of a copy.

A while back, i talked about the PAL-N VIC-II present on the Argentinean license 'built' C-64s.

But, thanks to Juan Carlos Fekete and electroeject, members of Retrocomputacion.com forum, I realized that my calculations were wrong.

I assumed that the clock circuitry is working in PAL mode, which means that the crystal frecuency gets divided by 18 to get the processor clock frequency. In fact, the clock circuitry is working in NTSC mode: The crystal frequency gets divided by 14 to get the processor clock frequency.

Thus, according to the previous calculations the crystal frequency must be:


WRONG!

Second mistake, I didn't noticed that the colorburst carrier frequency is the crystal frequency divided by 4.

The colorburst carrier frequency for PAL-N is 3.582056MHz

This is confirmed by this picture by Juan Carlos Fekete of a rev.A motherboard (note the 6572R1):
