Is there a such thing as a standard then? I received a black, six pin DIN 
cable with my first Master Compact which I presume is an original Cub 
monitor cable. Recently I cut it in half to make my own SCART cable and had 
to measure every wire to find where they go. The wires inside this cable 
were red, blue, yellow, white, black and unshielded copper. If I recall 
correctly, the red one matched the R in the RGB pinout. The others were 
mostly random. I'm not sure if even black was GND.

A side note: it took me three attempts to get the SCART cable correct due to 
somewhere it seemed either the BBC or SCART end of the pinout had green and 
blue mixed up. While I got a picture on first attempt, all green was blue, 
all yellow was purple and vice versa. :-)

Best regards
