making S-video hardware work

Postby machineman9 » Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:15 pm

i have some old pedals from a Xbox steering wheel. the wheel is dead, and the pedals are detachable

i removed said pedals and they have a 4 pint mini DIN connector.. like so:

now then, i have a PS/2 to USB connector, but the guiding clip is in a different place, so the 2 i have wont fit. does anyone have any ideas how i could connect it to USB?

if it helps (and i would love to do this, but ive not found a guide on google as to how) i have a spare USB connector and i can easily wire up the hardware to the USB if someone tells me how


cheers

I could be wrong, but I think "s-video" connections are for video output only.

well, it typically is, but the hardware uses this connection
