Communication error!

While you where refering to the common (video game) switch boxes,
John did mention modulators! they are usualy the same size (ok,
the TI one is a true brick), but do what they are named, modulate
the composite signal onto a TV carrier.

The one I like most is the Amiga 520 (?).
