SVHS and S-Video are the same. Not every TV has a SCART connector.
Uhm, no? Super-VHS is a video tape format, S-Video is a video signal standard.
As for IDE/PATA, are there any good reasons for not using SATA instead?
Probably all SATA controllers are PCI/PCIe based. Iplementation in an FPGA requires embeded SER/DES and external PHY.
No, there are cheap ATA-SATA converters around, you can stick them into the 44 pin IDE port and attach two SATA devices. Just google for "ide sata converter" :-)
I just ask since the IDE port takes up quite a bit of space on the boards.
