Okay, I finally managed to find the Super Video 2.1 instructions but  
now find that they seem to be in addition to the Super Video 2.0 mods  
rather than a newer version of them. I also find that some people  
recommend against making them but instead suggest some simpler mods to  
improve the 800xl video. Has anyone here had any experience with  
trying to improve the video output of the 800xl? What do you  
recommend? I'd like to at least enable the S-video output.

Thanks,
David
