## Description

## What is it?

Allows you to add the A/V connectors of the PICO9918 to your TI-99/4A without cutting the case.

Designed to replace the existing 5 or 6 pin A/V DIN connector of your TI-99/4A with a custom PCB which includes the original DIN connector in addition to new VGA and audio connectors.

**Note:** If you order just the PCB or the kit, I will pre-solder the JST or FFC connector for you. The JST connector is also epoxied to the PCB.

**Important: Installation requires you to desolder and remove your existing A/V DIN connector from your TI-99/4A PCB. If you're not comfortable doing this, I suggest skipping this mod.**

## Enclosure
The enclosure provides the stability. Without it, the entire mod PCB is only held in place with the soldered connection to the original TI-99/4A DIN socket.

When selecting an enclosure, be sure to select the correct color for your system as the design of the retaining fins is slightly different between black and beige systems. If you'd prefer to print your own enclosure, the STLs are available in the PICO9918 GitHub repository

## PICO9918
This product requires a PICO9918 or PICO9918 PRO VDP replacement (not included). 

## What do you get?
- 1x PICO9918 no-cut PCB
- FFC or JST connector pre-soldered

For the kit and assembled versions, you will also receive:

- 1x Riser block with pin headers pre-installed
- 1x VGA connector
- 1x White RCA connector
- 1x Red RCA connector
- 1x 3-pin header + jumper
- 1x FFC or JST cable
