Yours for $4.95 (buy it now) with $3.95 shipping and handling.

 

I bought one of these cables a while back, and it's actually worked out alright.

 

Take care, good to see you over here in the 8-bit world.

 

(Someday we need to get a version of Bubsy made on the Atari 800)

Do it yourself

 

Here are the pinouts on the 800 and XL/XE's monitor jack (looking at

the back of the unit):





                             *     * 

                          *  *     *  *

                        *    *******    * 

                       *                 *

         Audio output *  3             1  * Composite luminance

                      *                   *

                      *                   *

     Composite chroma  *  5           4  *  Composite video

      (not available    *               *

      on XL models)       *     2     *

                             *     *

                             Ground

 

Just buy an RCA cable, a Din Male conector, and solder the ground of each cable to the pin2, the video cable to the pin4, audio to pin3.

Better yet. You can buy a midi cable or a keyboard extender cable (not USB or PS2) and some RCA cables and splice them together....

 

I did this and made a monitor port to composite video, Audio and S-video cable...

 

I suppose I could drive 3 monitors if I wanted: RF, composite video and s-video....
