Anyone know where to get a vivo cable?

I bought a refurb with no cable, and now I'd like to hook up to my TV, but
I need the cable. Does it matter what I buy, or will any old 'vivo' cable
do? I don't need input, but I'd like out put. TIA .

Just use a standard S-Video cable. You don't need a VIVO cable for what
you described.

cool, rock on. I didn't realize Svideo in and out ends where differnent.
I was looking at my ps2's svideo cable and expecting that to fit into
my cards output (i.e., like RCA, the cable ends don't matter). This makes
me a very happy camper . Thanks.

Uhm, the PS2's cable will NOT work on a video card. The end that plugs into
the PS2 is a non-standard connection.

Normal Svideo cables do have the same connectors on either end. Well,
male-female, male-male, etc. Same style of connector at least.

Ok, a little closer look and I noticed I had a 9 pin cable. It took some
digging, but I found it online cheap and figured others might benefit, so
here it is:

Shipping was lightning fast and the cable worked like a charm. Plus, it
wasn't a $30 dollar vivo cable I didn't want/need/can't use with Linux .
