I was at Babbage's the other day and they had a converter for the PlayStation
that allowed it to be hooked to your VGA monitor. The picture on the box
showed what appears to be an S-Video type connector (it was fairly small
and had several pins)(not sure what the PlayStation actually has). It also
looked like it had RCA audio and video inputs as well. If you can't find any
info
where you're at I'll stop by Babbage's again and get all the info.
