The Wallstreet clearly uses some process to identify that an S-Video cable has been inserted to enable NTSC video out. It also uses some method to detect that an S-Video to composite adapter has been plugged in so it can switch from S-Video to Composite out. Whether your PC adapter does the same things it probably doesn't do both of them in the same way. Thus your Wallstreet can't recognize the adapter. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
