    Not sure, but shouldn't most Brick and Mortar stores like Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source, etc. have them?

    If not try TigerDirect's warehouse on Woodbine and Hwy 7 as your last resort....

    Good Luck

    I don't know if you can get exact cables like that, but you can get an SVideo to RCA gender-bender adapter. I think they have them at http://www.logiccomputerhouse.com/site/main.php?module=detail&id=600 and they're located in Toronto (a few locations).

    I don't know if you need a 6/7pin version or a 4pin version (4pin will give black & white video if you need a 6/7pin ver).
