Summary: There IS space inside the 1040 for a modulator.

[]

Last time I looked inside my 1040STf it still had an empty space (next
to the video jack) that was obviously designed for the modulator Atari
still owes us.  (That BYTE preview said it will be there, and so does
the nicely printed manual that came with my ST...)

That space has some traces for an emitter follower or something, but
not for the main part of the modulator.

But forget about the modulator:  how about getting just plain composite
video (no RF) out of the 1040?  Anyone knows how?  Or is this what was meant
in the posting, modulation meaning in this case the encoding of the colors
in the subcarrier?
