Had another thought on this one as well, since we're talking about multiple
screens and driving cabs...  when I reread this it made me think how cool
it would be to hook these up for head-to-head racing (or dogfighting, or...)
like some Daytona USA machines I've seen.

Not exactly sure how to do this... I would think you'd have to have something
like Need for Speed running on each, and workup some kind
of LAN play...

Yeah, I'D have so much fun with that   ;D

Where did you get your hand on a VGA-SCART cable??

From me!  I can make one for you for $60 (Aus) + postage.  Lovingly hand made to order ....   ;D  Almost any SCART TV will work with this cable.

This VGA-SCART cable would include a 12v  switching signal input to SCART pin 8 (so you'll also plug it into a standard PC internal molex power supply cable).  This is designed as an "option" so you can un-plug it, as some TVs don't need the 12v. 

I would build the cable and fully test it before sending it to you.  However, if it doesn't work for your particular TV, you can send it back to me (your expense) and I'll refund your $$.
