Re: DVI to SCART connections

[Martin Howell <martin.howell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again Nick.  I have checked out the Wikipedia stuff, and I've
seen scart to RGB converters with just three phone connectors and no
mention of synch, which is why I had hoped it was simple.  I'll do some
more digging, but in spite of the crap quality, the ready-made S-video
connection is beginning to look more and more attractive ....

Cheers
Martin
