Where on earth can I find this VIVO cable?

Hey, been reading for a while but had no reason to create an account till now. So I've got this Gainward 5900 Ultra w/ VIVO but the included VIVO breakout cable is hopelessly narrow guage, and I get dot crawl using the Svideo out. I'm almost positive that all Nvidia VIVO cards use this same style plug (9 pin round plug) but does anyone know where I could find a replacement? It doesn't have to be a cable, it could be a breakout box like the MSI n-box. The only spot I could think to look is EBAY, and that turned up negative.
 
Hmm... I always assumed it was just an NVIDIA cable. I never hooked it up to mine, but now that you mention it, I'm looking at it and I see 9 pins. I dunno but here's a bump!
 
A bu bump.

Anyone happened across one of these? Ebay turns up nothing, and no one sells anything like it seperate.
 
All VIVO cables are the same for all NVIDIA cards. All being 9 pin. Your best bet is to get one from Gainward

I got your private message and responded today. Sorry about the delay. Yes, I'm interested if you still have it.
The reason I was looking for a replacment is just the shoddyness of the cable that Gainward packages.

I've got a picture of it here -> http://www.olivetree.net/nathan/audio/CONVAR3.jpg It's not the cable in my hand, it's the silly pink thing in the right side of the picture in front of the case. Its even worse in real life. Totally unshielded and absolutly terrible quality. In fact, because TVs dont' apply a comb filter to video that comes in via Svideo (you shouldn't need it with a decent cable) it looks WORSE on svideo then composite.

For compairson:

The lesson today is that if you intend to buy an FX video card with VIVO, don't buy from Gainward.
