S-Video installed into my A1200

[vic20owner]

Here's my new s-video board (from neobitz)



The port is installed in the back, in the cover for the expansion port (where the SCSI normally is installed).

It looks excellent both inside and out. No cuts, scratches, or wandering wires.  The wires are from a hard drive cable which I split into pairs of 5.  The inputs are soldered to the RGB port to the pads where the surface mount capacitors are soldered.  Tight soldering but it only took me about 10 minutes.

I wrote down the solder points if anyone is interested... I can dig them up.  I tried to upload this photo to the image area but it wouldn't let me for some reason... just a blank page.

Well, it's leaps and bounds better than composite, but nowhere close to RGB.  I can use the machine in hires, but hires laced is still pretty bad and almost unusable (if you want to keep your sanity).

Now, this is also on an LCD screen... I haven't tried it on a tube TV or monitor yet... when I do I will post the results.

I'm really beginning to think that a 1084s is the most practical monitor for these computers...

EDIT:

The clock came with my 1200 (used). Not sure where it was purchased... I was surprised to find it there when I opened it for the first time because I'd never seen one like that before.
