I recently purchased the official RGB Scart adapter thing, naturally my
first move was to rip off the sticker and uncrew it.  Inside are merely
some passive filters made of resistors and capacitors, probably to
compensate for the inductance of the cable.

Its clear that the box is quite capable to issue RGB at any refresh
rates, its just that the native BIOS does not have this as an option.  

One happy day we will be in full control of the video and be able to
offer this, as it is the video is truly our weakest point :-(  But
investigations continue sporadically, when the pain of the last failure
has worn off :-)
