Just a posting for archive reason, no need for replies - I found out the pin/header layout for the TV_OUT connector/header on the Asus P4R800-VM (and perhaps other asus boards as well). There is a TV out header/connector on this board, but there's no description available. I've been testing and found it out. Now with only a cinch/rca or better a s-vhs/s-video female chassis part, one can create a cheap tv out. Asus sells the AV/S brackets but they are rare and more expensive. Here it is: 5 1 |* *| |* * *| ------- pin1= GND pin2=composite signal pin3=is emtpy/not used pin4=S-video/s-vhs C(chroma) pin5= GND pin6= S-video/s-vhs Y(Luma)
That appears to be the same as pg.38 of this doc. So I guess both boards can use the same adapter. http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-VMCSM/e2294_a8n-vm_csm.pdf Paul
