Since my posting yesterday, I remembered another article I read on this
subject.  The July (I think) issue of Computer Shopper had an article that
mentioned a company called At Your Service run by Mike Spires.  He says
he has the video connectors for those that want to make their own cables
and he sells for $20 a 5 foot cable with composite video and audio out.

For those with a 520ST with the built-in modulator, he passed along an
undocumented feature.  You already have composite video on pin 2 of the
video connector.  If you would like to contact him for further information
his address is:   At Your Service
		  2856 Leechburg Rd.
		  Lower Burrell, PA 15068
		  (412)-335-4477

He is also associated with an ST FOREM BBS called the Atari Elite BBS.
He receives messages there also.  The number is (412)-384-5609.  They
run at 300, 1200 & 2400 Baud.
