If you wire up a keyboard and get characters constantly appearing on the screen then you've wired up the
keyboard clock and data pins the wrong way around.
There are no RTS/CTS pins for high speed modems.
The serial pins are at 0/5V, if the computer you're connecting it to has a different voltage (eg. the Amiga
serial port's pins are at +/-12V) then you need a level converter between the two.
The serial pins may not be properly buffered to use safely with some external devices. You could damage
your CD32 if you try to hook them up without an external buffer. A diagram of a buffer is given in the
posting mentioned above.
Well, first you must make sure that you really have the 8-pin version of that S-Video connector (mini-DIN), this
is only existant on the French version of the CD32. Now if that's ok, then here is the pinout:
1=Red, 2=Blue, 3=Audio (L or R, don't know), 4=Green, 5=Audio (L or R), 6=Luminance, 7=CSync,
8=Chroma
