nVidia HDTV breakout "dongles"

[Modular]

I have a Leadtek 6600gt AGP with that came with the HDTV breakout adapter. It has the component, and S-video outs.

I just picked up this MSI 6600 from the egg for my home theater PC. It doesn't come with the breakout dongle, so I was going to use the one from the Leadtek card. I'm not sure if they are compatible though...anyone know?

Well I guess this is a bump/update...

Looking at the picture from the Newegg link, the MSI card has 9 pins. My Leadtek card also has 9 pins. The "dongle" has 9 pins as well.

YaY?

I can't see why any company would stray from the nVidia reference design for the break-out connector. Can anyone get schematics or anything for the pin-outs on the card itelf? That might be helpful.

I guess if anyone has an MSI card that came with a 9-pin break-out...I might be in the market for one.

I know that for Gainward/Xpertvision/Palit cards, the video out port is the same for 6200/6600/7300/7600/7800/7900. It isn't the same for 6800.

Whether that applies to all brands I'm not sure, though I suspect it will be the same since nvidia revised their video out between the introduction of GF6800 and GF6600. Everything since uses the GF6600 way.
