The rgb input is a Japanese 21-pin connector that ends in an 8-pin mini din.  The 21-pin connector is the same design as SCART, but the pinout is different.  I found a hardwired cable online where someone has made the same modifications, but what's the fun in that.

Actually, Santa probably didn't pay retail (it was a gift) for the Xmas holiday season.

My post is not a review, as there are several excellent ones on the web.

No scart in NZ anymore, unless you can find an old Euro branded CRT. There are scart to rca/component about though.

Isssue with old CRTs are that they are on their last legs and I've had a couple die. Good thing they're cheap.

Scart does produce a nice picture, a little better than scart is Amigamaniacs rgb to svideo adapter. Kipper2 makes a similar version of this which he sells through Amibay or his website.

Both options a lot cheaper than $300....the adapter cost me $20. However after using an Indi both on the 500 and 1200 I wouldn't bother with the other options. The picture of the Indi is amazing.

Yes, I have a couple of $230 USD Indivisions for my 4000's (a $160 for my A4000T), and one $110 Indy ECS in my A2000 and they are great!  So I guess I need to buy more or just pop one out every time I set up another Amiga; good idea...

That's what I would do, yes.  And quit f***ing around with these half-assed solutions.  ;)

C'mon Dan, we know you're made of money!  Didn't you say in another post just a few days ago that you pull hundred dollar bills out of thin air?  :lol:

Didn't Dan just spend $300? If money was the issue buy an svideo adapter from Kipper2 ;)

S-Video, composite and component are dead technologies, right up there with Beta Max.

Conversion is the opiate of the masses, before Democracy and religion.  When "Rust Never Sleeps," it is "Better to burn out then fade away."

[Also I've been into Amiga stuff since 1986 and Commodore 8-bit since 1982; also I just sold a refurbed A4000 with CS MK2 and Indivision AGA before X-mas for a reasonably large sum]
