That mysterious cable into my FZ-1
Posted: Sat May 31, 2014 11:44 am
While chatting about the 3DO on another forum, someone said "all 3DO have S-video".
And I said "meh, not all of them! Mine doesn't! And I can prove it."
So I took pics of the system, and I looked inside, because... I like looking inside things
And much to my surprise, the S-video plug appears to be there and is soldered to the PCB!
It's a first surprise; but second, what is THAT? :
The cable have 8 wires inside. It was cut, but I suppose that it was going out of the system from the hole ove the white sticker.
Any idea? I'm not tech guy, and I haven't found much technical data about what the 3DO guts does.
I can only suppose things.
Interestingly, someone foudn that picture :

Where the RF out have been replaced by a 8 pins Mini-Din connector. And that's the number of wires coming from that cable in mine.
