Hi Stuart,
yes I did! I already had an opinion exchange with Mark Usher, who sent
me a file describing the cable to be built, and I arrived at the
conclusion that my TV set gets the whole video signal from pin 20 (the
composite video input), completely ignoring the R, G, B inputs; I'm
wondering if there is a way to tell the TV to use the RGB inputs or if
they are internally NC...

On the other hand, is there someone who knows how to connect the beeb to
a VGA monitor? It'd be even better than using the TV...

Thank you anyway!

Ciao,
Carlo.
