Interestingly enough, one of the "undocumented features" on the new STs
that have the modulator built in is that pin 2 (two) is composite
video out. The documentation says its Reserved. You can pick up
the ground from either Pin 8 or 13. The problem of course is getting
hold of the connector. If you noticed that the pins (or rather the
holes) are at 0.1" spacing. I took a perf board with 0.1 centers and
stuck wirewrap pins in them, and it fit beautifully into the video
post. You may try molex pins instead that are rounded, but i did'nt
have them handy.
