All it needs is new blood like you to bring it back to life! ;)
Another schematic that comes highly recommended can be found here.
Also, plenty of SCART action going on over in the GroovyMAME forum.
Oh, be sure to check out my blog too. :)

So would the diagram attached be correct for a ATI card??
Also whats the black ?wire that comes from VGA pin 10 and goes to pin 17 and bridges to pin 18 on the scart?

If you lead voltage from SCART 20 to SCART 16 (what I would not do), then why giving power from the VGA too?

These are GND pins.
I noticed that a cable with the BC548B gives better picture than the one with the twisted sync wires.

Its just what Zebidee suggested bridging pins 20 and 16 together. So if i did bridge pins 20 and 16 then i dont need wire in Pin 9 on the VGA ti pin 16 on the scart?

Breaking news!
I think it might be time to retire from building VGA to SCART cables. Gonna be hard to top this awesome little device in terms of features and price:
