well that's the Amiga side done, time to flip it around and do it all over again https://computerfairi.es/media/mZXcWRoIgcHnyIMAb9M

me: safety first!

also me: *constantly gets stray hairs singed on her soldering iron*

i kinda wanna livestream myself making this cable but i look gross rn

me: don't over-draw your power supplies!!!

also me: *plugs a bright white led strip on a common 12V 1.25A brick psu because proper ones are too expensive*

i'd have enough vias if i tied the R G and B grounds together into one wire but i'm not sure if that's prudent

nvm ethernet cables don't have enough vias either

still i need to get better cables

i wonder if ethernet cables would make good video cables?

right now i'm using one that's shielded but .. i'm dumb so it doesn't have enough vias for a full SCART connector (that i'm actually putting through DE15 connectors since they mate better and don't get flaky) so the audio ground is going through the shielding ... which is a dumb idea and causes a lot of noise (but it works fine as long as i don't turn the volume up too much)

someone tried to argue with me the other day i shouldn't cut a db25 into a db23 and i should just get an actual db23 and wouldn't listen to me when i said those aren't made anymore and i had to show him that, buddy, even the german amiga enthusiasts do it

i kinda like ebay surfing ???

one thing i hate about DB connectors: you can never tell which way they are

the DE15 connector at least is asymmetrical https://computerfairi.es/media/767VI4uyZYd88C7eces

time to make an amiga video cable ???

*flips a table*

my ebooks bot doesn't keep newlines from the original toots even though there in the corpus but turbocat does and i don't know how they did it and it's a little upsetting
