RE: XBox component HD cable + composite?

Mmmm - on the circuit board, there doesn't seem to be any connection
between the S/Vid / composite and the component connections. There are 6
capacitors and a couple of resistors around the SVid connector though.

I think the connections must be made in the cable or at the plug end though
as I know the xBox pinout has 3 x variable video outputs only - supplying
all the video combinations depending on the switch positions.

Did you see a similar arrangement?

Paul.
