The mess.

It doesn't work currently, maybe because The video amp circuit isn't wired right.

I keep them long to strip ribbon cable.

It is hard to strip with x-actos.

Doesn't work right now, but i'm about to replace the cable with ATA harddrive cable so it can move around. It is solid, but it may break.

I tried making an NES portable once. It failed.

I'll postpics in a while.

Oh great so you post is at this site too Mr. lives in the basement off a steady diet of mac and cheese and lucky charms? Well, it's good to see you working on a portable after dropping out of Benheck. Guess I'll see you around then.
