Kyocera DA-1 - how to connect (video analog or digital)?

[pgru]

Hi and thank You in advance for answering.
As I am looking to expand my probably "cheap and interesting camera collection" and also big fan of floppy disks, I am looking for something related to Video Floppy disk. Sadly I don't have a video floppy disk reader, and it may be costly.

I found the Kyocera DA-1 may be suitable part of collection if acquired cheaply.

As I read this camera uses quite easily available batteries. However I am not sure if I can transfer photos from camera - some sources write about cable, and that it is hardly available.


My questions are:

1) Does the camera cable gives some output - like NTSC, or S-VIDEO, PAL(just anything that is quite easy to take, e.g. on VHS recorder, or some USB video grabber)? I see there are Video on photos, but don't known if just any jack-composite cinch would work?

2) Do You have or known where I can find a scheme of video cable, or just buy it?

3) Or maybe You even known what is scheme for "digital out", and have some computer software to use it?

The discs are incompatible with any device except the camera. They use a special formatting. You also need a special Kyocera cable, made only for this camera, to access the output. It had NTSC output. composite video

If you're buying one, look for one with the cables.

Thank You for answering. BTW: Maybe You have, or known who have the cable(s), and (s)he can do photos and check it by multimeter(to make a scheme)?

I don't have a cable for this camera unfortunately. The family member who had this camera passed away several years ago.
