Monitor to s-video?

Is there such a cable, and where can I get it.

On eBay, there are cables for sale that adapt the DIN connector directly to S-video and 2-channel (but still mono) audio connectors. You can see one such auction here (at least until it ends).

 

Another option is to get a cable that goes between an S-video plug and 2 RCA plugs (you will also need a DIN-to-3-RCA or DIN-to-4-RCA cable for this to work, such as the standard A/V cable for the Commodore 64). Several places online sell these cables, and there is a broad range of prices. I just bought a couple at Global Sound and Image which had the cheapest price by far; even after shipping, buying two there was cheaper than buying one elsewhere. If you follow that link, scroll down toward the bottom of the page. The part number is VSA-356.

 

One small caveat: Only the Atari 800, 65XE, and 130XE can give "true" S-video. The other Atari 8-bits don't offer the required separated video signals, at least not without some hacking.
