Hey Birt! | My Mk3 SVideo cable for the C64, from craptasic to fantastic! @HeyBirt | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Video sponsor: PCBWay: $5 for 2 layer PCBs with 24hr turnaround at pcbway.com
In this video we cover the design and construction of the third revision of my SVideo cable for the C64. The Mk1 version was usable but had shortcomings. The Mk2 version was done in a hurray to overcome the annoying whine of the SIDs audio input picking up noise. Thought it was supposed to be a temporary solution it lasted a few years. The Mk3 cable was made with mostly things I had on hand and using the proper type of shielded cables. Join in as we see how it was made and how it works.
