Retro Computer Shack only operate between Thursday 2pm and Sunday 5pm - the wiring for the QL Scart cable is shown here https://www.retrocomputershack.com/SCART-DESIGNS/Sinclair-QL/index.html Thanks, that shows a change in wiring from mine. That diagram shows five resistors, whereas on the one they...

Re: Today I Received...
Thanks Martin. That's six different wiring versions for a QL SCART cable I've seen now in all. SCART is a nightmare to get right. Retro Computer Shack, whose cable I use with TV, are on holiday according to their eBay store, so I can't follow up with them. I've sent a help request to JS Technology t...

Re: Today I Received...
Dilwyn, the two Composite lines (20-->4, 16-->1) of your SCART cable seem to be weird - Composite Video is connected to "RGB Status" [which is normally used to tell the TV that "RGB is valid"] and Composite sync is connected to the composite video signal - Maybe our TV didn't us...

Re: Today I Received...
Price paid was £49.16+VAT tax, and £4.96+VAT for UPS courier shipping. Well, I could have given you a QL-VGA for less ;) Their page doesn't really tell much, not even what the output format is. Weird. Cheers, Marcel Oh, you will be supplying me with a QL-VGA at some point all the same. I just neede...
