You kill me! Google Atari 800. It has a thin cable coming out the back which is RF combined audio/video (mono, I think) with an RCA end on it, not F-Type threaded coax. I'm not making this up.

On the other hand, there is a "monitor" port on the side of the computer which is female DIN5 with (I've read) chroma, luma, composite, audio (mono) and ground pins. One could probably build an adapter cable for either composite out or S-Video out. One reference I found suggested that chroma isn't actually available on this model.

That doesn't quite make sense. If your computer puts out a TV signal, it
should be an F-Type threaded connector for a cable TV coax cable. That
would require a tuner. The standard connector for composite video is an
RCA jack. It should have only video, audio left, or audio right. In
other words, composite video would already be the 3 separate RCA jacks
you want.
