I have that scart thing (from Maplin though) too. only thing is the
lead that goes to it is s-vga to s-vga which doesnt work....so do i
need a lead to go from VGA port to s-vga?? would that work then?
Can you send me a diagram (text diagram if need be) if i havnt got
that right? (reply personally though please.)
In the mean time - thanks for the info, even though it wasnt very
good
news! :}
TTFN
Sam.
