A couple years ago there was talk about AV mods for the Atari 2600. Does
anyone here have a Cybertech AV mod? How is it different from the
standard CD4050 hack?

The standard hack gets you composite; the Cybertech mod claims to give
you true s-video output, although at first glance I don't see how that's
possible.

The TIA chip appears to provide separate luminance and chroma outputs,
so it doesn't seem like it should be hard to produce S-video. However,
I haven't studied it in any depth.

One of the best comparisons I found when I was originally looking at
them was this:
http://www.cheeptech.com/2600mods/2600mods.shtml
As of right now I still haven't done either to one of my 2600s but I've
been thinking about it again lately.
