In fooling with my Mac PM7100av and AudioVision monitor I noticed that
the Apple ADB connector and the standard s-video connector are the same.
Any data on this ? And does it mean that a cheap s-video cable could be
used in place of relatively expensive(Apple like IBM ain't cheap) ADB cables ?

DING DING DING DING DING give the gentleman a cigar :) I've used SVideo
cables in a pinch, as long as they aren't monster long they seem to work fine.

Let me strike the gong few times as well...
That's exactly what I fixed a mac ADB with a new S-Video connector.
:-) Besides RS for connector, S-Video cables is super expensive, any
suggestions for inexpensive s-video cables?

Svhs works fine for ADB, ADB sucks as Svhs, but I sell both cheap, like $2
for ADB and $3 for svhs, and those are typical internet prices. ADB is just
plain wire, Svhs should be coax internally I think.

I can vouch for S-Video cables being coax inside. I cut one in half to put
a pair of RCA plugs opposite the mini-DIN, so I could plug Commodore's Y/C
video output into an S-Video input.
ok
