That's a great s-video jack. I'd love to have something like that for my systems!

lgallair that is a slick set up there! If you don't mind I will add that as an alt method of installation on my website.
A little update on the 7800 mod. Found the perfect chroma switch IC. The Ti TS5A3159ADCKR is a 2:1 Analog mux its surface mount. It is a little bit smaller then the FMS6400 but it shouldn't be to bad. |

I prefer jacks but if there is enough interest I can see if I can scourge up some cables for cheap? If anyone kind find a source for cables that work out to about $4-$5 per cable after shipping then I can do it. |

I would be most interested in using the cable instead of the jacks. I'd definitely pay more for a kit that included a cable so I didn't have to find one myself and figure out the wiring.

I always have to remember to "switch usernames" when seeing Longhorn Engineer over here and Rekarp on Benheck. Sorry  Atleast my Avatars are the same now. |

I grabbed some pictures of the mod a while ago but forgot to post them.
   I still haven't made time to diagnose the problem I was having with composite video. The s-video output looks so good, I have little reason to even have composite output! I think it's just a simple grounding issue anyway. |

If anyone kind find a source for cables that work out to about $4-$5 per cable after shipping then I can do it. I was planning to do this when I get around to modding my 7800. DealExtreme would be my first bet for a cheap cable like this: http://www.dealextre...ils.dx/sku.5190 |

Thats really nice work on the back there Vectorman0, Longhorn can you make my two units look like that. I think the S-Video looks a lot nicer without the screw marks, happy to pay extra for it.

Any update on PAL compatibility? Haven't heard from mimo yet. I just received a PAL board from HARMIK so soon? Oh and orders for the 2600 are open again. I will be updating my website everyday from now on. Even if I haven't built anything I will post something. There is a RSS feed for my website. |

Something happened to the mod. It seems that when I have the s-video plugged in, I only get black and white. When I take out the s-vid and use composite, I get partial coloration, and some bleeding

Sorry for the delay PAL people, I suffer from depression, quite badly at times, and when it hits I can barely get out of bed some days.
Anyway, finally finished building the first PCB tonight, so will try and get things hooked up at the weekend with longhorns help. |

The ports I used are from Parts Express. The RCA jacks have nice solder terminals. The s-video jack however is just a coupler, and is enormous. If I remember correctly, it needs a 5/8" opening (maybe a tad more) and the entire piece is almost an inch in diameter.
