vc20 composite/s-video mod picks

Post by ken »

I finally had some time to play with a vic20 today and did another dual s-video / composite mod on it
and cleaned it up a lot so now its easy to switch between the 2 , the switch can be accessed through the cassette port
I am slowly getting it decked out with mods

Wow Ken,
That is a great mod. Did you keep the switch inside on the RF box so it doesn't get toggled by mistake while in s-video or vice versa?

well I HATE drilling holes in cases and figured this way was the least of 2 evils
so yes in a way I did it so you cant accidentally switch it , and to hide it
all that will happen if it does get switched is the composite is B/W , so you can easily tell what mode you are in and switch it back
the mod makes it so you can still use any old c= 5 pin a/v coard or use a soecial made s-video cord
I just took the dual composite /s-video cables I make for the 64 and altered it to 5 pin and it works great
the switchless jiffydos also does not require drilling holes in the case
I also added a slow flash R/G/B led
who knows what I will do next
