Video Connector pinout

The other day I was connecting a Commodore computer to a monitor.  I
selected a cable by the usual method (trial and error).  It occured to me
that this process would be easier if I had a chart of the pinouts of the
various Commodore video connectors.  Here is the result:

 

             8             7
 Commodore          6          Video Connector
             3             1
               5         4
                    2
      C16/Plus4
    C64/SX64/C128  Pin     C64      VIC20CR      VIC20        B/600
    -------------  ---  ---------  ---------  ------------  ---------
(Y) Video           1   Video      +5 V       +5 V          Luminance (R)
    Ground          2   Ground     Ground     Ground        Ground
(W) Audio Out       3   Audio Out  Audio Out  Audio Out     V Sync    (B)
    Composite       4   Composite  Video      50 Ohm Video  Video     (W)
    Audio In        5   Audio In   Video      Video         H Sync    (Y)
(R) Color           6
    +5 V (C64)      8

Video means combined luminance and sync.
Composite means combined video and audio

The letters on either end represent two common video cables that I have.
The letters are the first letter of the color of the connector.

One of the problems compiling this was that the documentation was not
consistant naming the signals, so these are different from the
documentation.  I have tried to make them consistant.
