ASUS Terminator C3 Issues?

In article <1115049798.075494.325 @o13g2000cwo.googlegroups.com>­,



Internal port cable assemblies are available here. You can find
some Asus adapter parts on Ebay, but this solution could be
neater looking than having to hack up your own PCI bracket.
These parts fit in a drive bay housing and are modular.

CPX108-2 Dual USB - This one likely has identical pinout to a
                    standard Asus 2x5 header. The wires can be
                    moved around in the header if required.

CPX105-2 Firewire - Uses same pinout as Asus 2x5 header. It is missing
                    the redundant VP and GND wires, which is not a
                    problem according to FrontX.

The video will be loads of fun. For starters, this header does not
match the pinout of the existing Asus AV/S adapter. SVHS is
Luminance, Chrominance, and two GND. The RCA TV connector is
Composite and GND, AFAIK. That is a total of six wires, and the
Asus header has eight wires.

For components, I would use the following three items:

CPX107-2 S_video Internal   - Has four wires.
CPX106-2 RCA video Internal - Has two wires
CPX075-4 2x5 plastic holder - Remove wires from above two items, and
                              plug them into this 2x5 plastic body.

The last item in the list can be seen on this page:

You will need to pull the four plus two wires from the first two
assemblies, and plug the wires into the correct holes on the 2x5
plastic holder. You will need to contact Asus and get the pinout,
because determining the pinout by experiment will be challenging.
The following section is how I would try to solve the problem
if Asus is clueless or unhelpful:

*******
One way to narrow down the pinout of the Asus connector, is use
an ohmmeter, and identify all the pins that are shorted together
on the 2x5 TV header. Those will be GND pins. By shorted, I mean
they will read between 0 and 1 ohms on your meter, as in a real
good connection. The signal pins might also trigger your meter,
but should give a higher reading (no idea how high).

That will leave you with three signal pins. Using the CPX106-2
RCA TV connector, you would try the three signal pins one at
a time, to drive the center pin of the RCA connector. The outer
shield of the RCA connector goes to one of your GND signals.
One of the three signals will drive a baseband video input
properly (75 ohm baseband input, this is not an RF modulated
signal on channel 3 like your old Pong game). The signal that
makes the TV monitor input work properly is the composite signal.

With the Luminance and Chrominance, there are two possible
orientations, and I would try both until the SVHS device works
properly. (Aga
