Minor update coming today. Just cosmetic improvements really, with the silkscreen and some trace work tweaks.
I've got a digikey order inbound today so I will be able to verify parts suitability.
Also received a mini DIN 8 cable that I ordered from RGC. It performs exceptionally well. Crystal clear video and audio, great quality connectors and wiring with above adequate shielding.
I also ordered and received one of Tim Worthington's DIN 8 scart kits.
Owning both, my vote goes towards the RGC cable. I do prefer that Tim's kit utilises a DC voltage converter to output proper voltage to scart pins 8 and 16, but that's about it. The included mini DIN 8 cable is of low quality, non-shielded and one of the connectors is already loose and wonky. The internal wiring is super high gauge and I find it leads to interference on bright screens with a slight audio hum, regardless of whether the external 3.5mm audio cable is used.
I can't fault the performance of the RGC cable. Zero video / audio interference. Just a bit pricey but I'd rather spend more and only have to buy it once.
