Steve Is it possible to get S-video from that chip? If so a C64/C128 compatible 8-pin DIN connector might be a good choice. 1/8" jacks kan be a bit of a mess. Stuff with only mono audio might have video and audio on the pins that's used for right/left with stereo audio. If you have stereo audio and an additional signal ground can be either on the sleeve (older mobile phones from for example SonyEricsson) or the ring closest to the sleeve (iPhone and more modern mobile phones from other brands). I think the rationale for Apple to move the ground might have been to get the microphone signal away from the headphone output signal. Also SonyEricsson used the same pin (the ring next to the sleeve) both for composite video output and microphone input on the same product, Vivaz, a Symbian phone, -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
