The SCART cable I saw was in an Atari Catalog! It was a ribbon cable! It must have been a prototype or something!
Not true. (at least I don't think so). I've had one of these sent to me before by Nick at 16/32 Systems, and they are of definitely inferior quality. The edge connector is the right size for the Jag (not cut down that I could see) and ran directly onto the ribbon cable (as with the headers on a Stub cable). The SCART plug was a standard one, and the ribbon cable was just rolled up and stuffed into the cable opening and soldered internally. The whole thing was very flimsy, and though the connections pin-to-pin might have been correct, it was utterly unusable due to the complete absence of any sort of shielding (you could just about make out an image through the mess of static, and there was no audible sound). A waste of money, but if you want one he has them for sale on the website (think it's still http://www.1632systems.co.uk) as 'unshielded SCART cables'. Cheaper than the originals, and for good reason: they don't work and don't even make very good paperweights.
Maybe one for the completists, but why waste money when ihe's still selling the original item???
