Andy, your best bet would be to make your own SCART connection. I have made several but that was a long time ago and I've forgotten which pins need to be connected. You need to connect analog Red, Green and Blue with their seperate grounds, Horizontal and Vertical Syncs and main ground. You should have the pin configurations in your Amiga and TV manuals. If the configuration is not in the TV manuals you should ask at your local TV shop – if they don't know they can probably refer you to someone who does. You should get shielded wires, not much longer than a couple of feet or you might get a bad picture. (Or if you don't use the seperate grounds for RGB) It's pretty simple to do if you have some soldering experience and also a lot cheaper than ready-made ones. If you get 23-pin sub-d (female) connector and write down the pin numbers I mentioned above somebody might make it for you at TV-repairs shop. — Quinten
