I'm replying Giovanni's private message to the list since I find it of
public interest.
Hope you don't mind, Gio 8;)

A Navarone adapter has a male DIN-8 connector meant to fit the female DIN-8
RGB video output socket featured on MSX2 and later models (it DOES NOT WORK
with old Philips MSX1s which have DIN-8 composite video!). At the other end
there's a female SCART connector, so you can plug a plain male-to-male
21-way SCART cable to hook the MSX to any SCART compatible AV equipment.
A Navarone adapter + a standard male-to-male 21-way SCART cable substitute
the classic male DIN-8 to male SCART custom cable. This way you can use
also any other SCART special cables already available at any electronics
shop (like SCART to RCA audio, SCART to RCA RGB, SCART to Peritel, etc.) to
fit your equipment.

I've used almost the same layout as found in classic custom MSX cables.
CVBS IN/OUT signals are swapped, since the standard 21-way cable swaps
these lines like a null modem. What's an output on the male SCART becomes
an input on the female.
We'll create a Japanese version when we have detailed documentation and a
means to test it, since there're several electronic issues to resolve
(switching and LED voltages within spec) that have to be checked with the
target equipment.

Well, our next piece of "hard war" is called POTEMKIN 8:D
Wait and see...
Kiss you lot.
