I just received the RGB lead I ordered from swallowgames:
It does not look like an official lead to me, as there are no ferrites (bulges in the cable), and there doens't seem to be any scart switch voltage present. Oh, and I would have expected a new official cable to come in a box, not a plastic bag. And the ground wire going to the shield of the scart plug ('pin' 21, IIRC) is just stuffed under the shield and held in place by the plastic shell.
All my other consoles auto-switch correctly, I haven't had a chance to measure the voltage on the pin yet, or check the wiring properly.
Anyone confirm if an official sega DC scart lead has ferrites on it? Anyone else bought one of these leads? Any known problems with scart switch voltages on DCs?
