 This connector is the standard for many pre-DOS/V (IBM compatible) computers in Japan.  The PC-9801, X68000 and FM Towns all used this pinout, or similar variants of it.  **Pay attention to the differences, they are important!** This connector is the standard for many pre-DOS/V (IBM compatible) computers in Japan.  The PC-9801, X68000 and FM Towns all used this pinout, or similar variants of it.  **Pay attention to the differences, they are important!**
  
 +**NOTE** the numbers are usually visible on the connector itself.  If you're looking at the business end of the female connector, pin 1 is on the right.  On a male connector it's on the left.

 The PC-9801 connector is nearly the same as the X68000.  The differences are very minor: pins 9 and 13 are used for the 9801, but are not connected on the X68000. The PC-9801 connector is nearly the same as the X68000.  The differences are very minor: pins 9 and 13 are used for the 9801, but are not connected on the X68000.

   * Not all systems put out power on pin 7.  Normally +5v, some devices (like the X-RGB2) leave this pin disconnected.  You can add power to your cables, for monitors that require it, following [[adding_5v_to_scart_lead|these directions]].   * Not all systems put out power on pin 7.  Normally +5v, some devices (like the X-RGB2) leave this pin disconnected.  You can add power to your cables, for monitors that require it, following [[adding_5v_to_scart_lead|these directions]].
