Hi Enterprise Forever forum members.

I just enter my very first Enterprise computer in my 8 bit collection and I would like to have a nice RGB SCART output for it.

I ordered such a cable from a Spanish website (RetroCables) but it doesn't work on two of my TV sets : My old CRT Philips and by Panasonic Plasma. In both cases I have a grey screen on which I can barely see the b&w image of the computer. I think this could be a pin 8 or 16 (switching) issue but the guy from the website claims "the cable was fully tested before shipping".

So my question are :
 - How can I sort out which part (cable or Enterprise connector) is faulty ?
 - Is there another place where I can order a trusted SCART cable ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Take a look to the last picture on the following site (recommended in the previos post as well):

If 12V is present on pin B6 of EP128, perhaps the resistors are missing from your cable (you can measure the resistance between the corresponding pins of the connectors with a multimeter, or simply disassemble the housing of the connectors), this may cause similar symptoms. In this case complete the cable adding the necessary resistors (I recommend to use 330 instead of 100 Ohms in cases of R, G, B and CS signals), they will comfortably fit into the housing of the SCART connector.

I'll have a look at the B6 pinout of my Enterprise first (what is the ground pinout, B2 ?) to check for 12V, then I'll have a look at the SCART cable pinout and check for resistances included.

Yes. A2 and B2 are both GND/0V pins.

Hi guys.

I didn't attend the forum for a while, sorry.

My problem with the scart lead is now fixed. I was actually the scart socket part of the lead had a problem. It seems that were is was incorrectly assembled so the scart pins was to deep comparing with the exterior socket shield. As a result, when connected to the TV set the pins weren't correctly with the TV pin holes so signal wasn't transmitted...

Thanks for your help.

Also waiting for an RGB cable from RetroCables. I'll make sure to check if the SCART connector is correctly assembled.

Cable arrived. Looks good, although the cinch connector house looks like it came from a kid's 3D printer! Meanwhile, my only working Enterprise died, so it will be a while before I can - hopefully - test the cable.
