 Does the converse work?  Can I use ADB cables for
 S-Video?  
 I do. It works just fine. They're kinda coily though. 
I cna't believe either the characteristic impedance or the construction 
is the same between ADB and S-video cables. Electrically the connections 
should be the same, but if you use a ADB cable for S-video, you might 
well get noticeable reflections. 

IIRC, S-video has 2 ground pins on the connector, and there's nothing to 
stop them being commoned in the cable. Would that cuase a problem if 
sucha a cable was used for ADB?
