Nice graphics! Which program used for drawing?

Prompt where I must connect Mode Switch and CSYNC
Switch from EP B6 to SCART pin 8 (and with the 470 Ohms to pin 16)
CSYNC from EP B5 to SCART pin 20, usually these also require a 100 Ohm resistor.

Thanks for help! :)

Photoshop only (drawing process relaxes me).

When it is finished with the last two wires then possible use your graphics on Enterprise webpages?

And do you want some more relaxing?  :) If yes then can you make same nice graphics for other cables? (Printer, Serial, Joystick, ...)

I will write the connection pinouts?

Yes, both B2 and A2 are GND, it is on the Scart: 4, 5, 9, 13, 18, 21

just built a cable. works ok on my EP64 with abit of sound interference (ground issues)
on my EP128 its is very bright colours with bleed/shimmer around edges.

are there different scart outputs for different boards? im thinking maybe higher resistors on the RGB 330/470?

Few days ago Bruce also recommended higher resistors.

The 100 ohms come from Hungarian magazine (1989).

Theoretically all motherboards same, but I does not rule out undocumented changes during the production.

Not to mention the effects of 30 years on component values!

Hi bruce im in agreement.

I picked up a 64 and a 128 last week.

Made a cable up with 100R and is perfect on the 74 but major bleed of colours on the 128

Im thinking possible differnces on the issue of boards etc?

It's possible but I don't think we're aware of any production differences - but zozo is the expert on that sort of thing! Internally there are only a few resistors between digital TTL logic and analogue RGB output - more likely one or more of those have become low in value over the years!

This schematic contain the colour DAC resistors.
I will check some different version motherboards, about all using same values?

I have built a new cable with 330r on rgb.

Darker colours but still fuzzy edges/bleed.

 Any ideas where to look? What to change?
