1. I did connect a different power supply from an active, running PC to the CD Drive. And Voila...the BopBopBopBop on the left side was gone. Wooow. Becareful with that. Mixing two power supplies isn't trivial. There might be differences in ground etc, especially if the power plugs (and phases, …

I'm testing the Datapath Vision-AVHD which is the more recent version of the Vision-RGB. It has the same issue in 640*480 under 75 Hz where it crops 2 or 3 lines at the bottom.
