    The closest I've seen is this little beast: http://www.mobileplanet.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=MP760121&dept%5Fid=3713

    It's from a company called Margi and looks to be a PCMCIA graphics card with external monitor support. I don't see any mention of S-Video support. Also check out Socket, they are also good for coming up with interesting devices.

    Thanks but I don't think that's gonna work.
    I have found a cable that merely went from VGA to S-video and I'm wondering if this would work. A friend of mine seems to think that the two mediums are incompatible and a cable between the two would work.

    Here's the link to ebay. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated...
