Steve ...
Meant to ask you ... would a short article on this and similar adapters be of 
value for the next newsletter?

Yes, I have tested my ntsc Amiga 1200 with a scart cable and it worked fine. 
SCART wasn't really known here but the technology is pretty standard. The SCART 
cable was just one giant all-in-one connector for composite, s-video, and RGB 
analog, along with stereo audio. The Amiga and the old consoles use RGB analog 
at 15kHz. Really, you don't need the SCART cable... you could just solder an 
Amiga DB-23 cable directly to the SCART-to-HDMI adapter.

Hi Steve, can you give me a link to which SCART to HDMI adapter on eBay would 
be the correct one to buy. Also would a scart cable work on a NTSC Amiga?

For about $40 you can get a SCART to HDMI adapter on ebay that works on the 
Amiga, assuming you have a nice big HDMI-capable tv. That's gonna get you the 
best quality.

I have one on order to try. You will need an amiga to SCART cable (about $20) 
or you could wire up your own cable if you have a db-23 connector. 
This adapter also works on quite a number of old consoles like Dreamcast, 
Genesis, playstation etc, and should even work for C128 (which I plan to test 
as well) and MAYBE even the PET ;-)

Kipper2k has an rgb2svideo on his site and he is in Canada.  35 bucks.

You can also build one if you are handy with a soldering iron.  :0)

  have gotten in many of them over the years, but the output on all of them 
were crap, so they went for recycling. I could be remembering wrong, but I 
think there was a 3rd party version that was quite good, sorry if this sends 
you on a wild goose chase. could some of the members with more experience 
confirm or deny this?

  Hi Frank, EBay is hit & miss. Either I miss a good deal or they want crazy 
money. There must be someone in this group that has  an extra they could part 
with.

    Hi, does anybody have a Commodore Amiga 520 Video Adapter that they could 
sell. I don't have the space for a RBG monitor. Let me know, thanks
