- The same adapters that provide the TV output provide a composite
- output. You can either get the version that goes in the card slot way
- over on the right-hand edge of the machine, or you can use the 520,
- which plugs into the RGB socket (and was originally intended for use
- with the 500). I have been using a 520 to feed the output from my
- 2000 into a VCR. You will find the picture is still a little fuzzy,
- though. The 1802 monitor just wasn't meant to do 640x400.... it was
- made for a machine that topped out at 320x200.
