Jonathan— I think there are a whole bunch of folks that would like to see a schematic to work off of. I've wanted to solder up something but haven't quite found the right example to work from. Would You happen to know what the very best cable is to use for the jumpers with video signals? A Belden part number would be great! Thanx for any help, Paul –pt–not seattle– 😉

Paul– Please see my last message to John Foust. As for the best cable to use for video – I'm told that anything that works well for RF signals/coax connections will work quite well with BNC connectors for composite. Radio Shack, therefore, probably has just what you need. Their raw cable (if your local Shack offers it) is very good quality, and priced right for short lengths. Jonathan – via Whap!

Jonathan; Radio Shack cable is hardly "very good guality," it is usually acceptable quality. The type a cable that outfits such as Radio Shack used to sell as RG-58, 59 and 8 is one of the major reasons that Belden went to a different numbering system. They were ashamed that their cable could be compared to the lossey and leaky stuff that the mass market outfits were selling. An Amiga message processed by Whap!, bill

Paul, Belden 8279 is an "excellent" video cable for runs under 50'. It should be available for < $1.00 per foot. dcl
