Well, I saw some one have difficult to run TI to a monitor and a audio.  Here
is my method:

The DIN5 port on the back of TI99/4A console has following assignment:
(clockwise)
#1  ---  +12V
#2  ---   composite vedio
#3  ---   vedio ground
#4  ---   system ground
#5  ---   audio out

So one can make his own cable to hook up TI and a monitor and audio amplifier
easily.  One needs to be careful not to short the +12V.  Other lines are more
or less harmless when connect wrong.

Hope this helps.  I also modified some joysticks and have the assignment. if
enough people interested, I will post it here some time.
