John,
That new composite output design does create some potential issues, but at the same time does make it easier to work with. One possible source for adapters that would work is older video cameras; I have the A/V cable for mine, but have not yet bought one of the B+ model Raspberry Pi computers.

You've probably heard by now that there is a new model Raspberry Pi (the B+) that has more I/O pins, more USB ports, and a few other changes. ?You may be wondering how this effects the TNC-Pi. ?Actually I've researching that issue today because I wanted to make sure the TNC-Pi wouldn't be obsolete by this. ?
It turns out all add on boards for the Raspberry Pi will also work on the B+ version. ?At some point (like when I run out of boards) I'll switch to a 40 pin header, but the current header on the board will work just fine with the new Pi. ? Whew!
One change that concerns me a bit is combining the audio and the analog video in the same connector. ?It looks like those that want to use these on the new Pi will have to build/buy an adapter. ?It was so easy plugging an RCA video cable directly into the Pi.
