Sparkac, no the dvd drive remains as normal. All the wiring was done carefully so as to maximise the limited space available. The 25 pin 'D' connector is under the drive on a 50mmx50mm piece of double sided foam to stop shorting and abrasion to the MOBO. The only thing that needs to be added, is the sync seperator circuit to give me H and V on BNC and VGA. The hardest part of this project is removing the AVIP. You will not that the AVIP is above its previous location as the wiring comes straight off the MOBO and pairs off to the sockets etc.
Imthedevil,
Get the new pixel8 from you know where and build a sync stripper then wire it up. This project is a bitch and does as Brahm2 points out needs patients. I will right a tut if people want it. I have taken over 100 pics so far.
