Please log in for more thread options Hi I have had a look at the link posted by Roger, my S-Video connector
is different to the one shown. It has 7 sockets and a square locator
socket. I did a google and found this page
http://www.svideo-rca.com/gone.htm it shows the type of socket I have.
(the 7 pin one!) The cable I have has only the 4 pin plug. So maybe I
should search eBay, or visit Maplins or PC World. I live in ROI so
limited PC componant shops)
Oh well back to the drawing board!
