Hi all

does anyone have a pinout that will enable someone to make a scart lead for my philips vg 8020 msx 1 machine?

i have found some one that can make them but wants the pinouts if possible, i'm not even sure what this means, but have searched on google and am not exactly sure what i need to look for!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

He has also asked whether i can find out if the scart for msx turbo works on philips vg 8020??

many thanks

Philips monitor connector

IIRC you can use a 5-pin DIN plug, and (as I discovered recently) resulting cable can even be used with a Commodore Vic-20.

The connector is described on page 52 of the user guide, which i placed here

A 5 pin DIC connector is fine,
Pin 2 is ground, pin 5 is video, pin 3 is audio

SCART is easy, use a SCART adapter to cinch.
