I’ve been really excited to discover that a computer of mine from 1998 (HP Pavilion 8570C) actually has TV-out capabilities. I was cleaning out the case, and discovered a chip near the integrated video chip on the motherboard that read ImpacTV2, and became interested. I googled the name, and it turned out to be a TV encoder chip, which provided TV output capabilities to the video hardware on the motherboard. Nice! Next to it, I later discovered a set of pins labeled TVCON. Once again, I turned to Google for an answer, and I came up with this pinout: So, I took a remainder of the IDE ribbon cable I used in the CueCat Surgery post (here), cut it to the length of the header, and clipped an RCA jack to the end of the cable. Into the TV it went, turned on the computer, and voila, I see computer on my TV! If I had wanted to, I could have used the S-Video output (Luma and Chroma) but I didn’t have enough cables to be able to sabotage one. [...] [...] Right, well, on to the secrecies.

It's the same with music cassettes and vinyl records :). Why are people still using CD, when we've got DVD-A and SACD and others already on the market? Why do the Japanese still use Laserdiscs? There's always a logical answer to those :). Of course they do, why wouldn’t they? It’s the same with music cassettes and vinyl records :).
