Re: PET video to VGA

Yes, that's a good point. Being in Canada I'm not too familiar with scart, although I do have one scart tv and some cables, which I've successfully connected Amiga, and C128 to (I also have an Atari ST scart cable but I haven't tested it yet). It's not a great monitor so I wouldn't want to use it unless there were no other options. Also, if the scart TV supports s-video then it might be a thought to use the luma input for a sharper picture (since there is no chroma on the PET).

It's good to discuss/explore the different options available. I wish I had more time to actually TRY some of these things ;-)

If Hervé uses his LCD TV with SCART input, he probably can stop at this 
point as just about every (?) European TV set will accept NTSC composite 
video, at least in monochrome. Since the PET in default form doesn't output 
any colours anyway, going through conversion to RGB or VGA would be plain 
overkill unless considered an exercise. Probably the GB8220 converter could 
be used as a scan doubler if the desire still is to get a 31 kHz signal.
