TV -> D-Sub converter possible?

This reminds me of a funny story (well, it wasn't funny at the time). S-video connectors are, possibly not coincidentally, the same plug that Apple Desktop Bus uses, and I use S-video cables as extension cables since they are cheap and readily available. However, what you can't use is an S-video switchbox as a cheapo K-M switch. So here's today's trivia question: when I did this, the system kept acting like I was pressing the power button. :) The same principle allows you to create an "ADB boot dongle" for non-MacOS systems. My 7300 NetBSD system had one plugged into the keyboard, since NetBSD would ignore that, and even if the PMU was not working correctly it would always boot it after a power failure. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- Spotted on a coffee mug: "Say NO to drugs" -- Chuck Reiman, r.h.f ----------
