Thanks for the link pkScary; it was really informative. I think I might have to rebuild mine. Maybe I'll put a bunch of outputs on it... SCART, S-Video, Composite and the like.

...or maybe I'm just too lazy. That's probably it.

Ack, you didn't need to dredge up this topic. Oh well, anyway, yes you need to follow a schematic closely. The one I saw called for 220uf.

I just remembered... The easiest way to add a VGA Box into the modem case AND using the plug is to use all the blank pins... The pins that don't do anything... There's a modem port pinout somwhere that tells you what all pins are blank and do nothing... You could just wire accordingly by running wire fromt he AV Out throught he system tot he modem plug intot he VGA box int he modem case...! Easy...

You bumped this topic just to ask that? It was a proplem with the forum at one stage, most topics were fixed but a few got away.
