OK, internal wiring is done :)
And it seems to work fine:
But I seem to be having some issues with the intensity bit not working, or being intermittent. So I need to go and check the connection is good.

Re: A new arrival - Amstrad PPC512
Thanks. :)
Seems the intensity bit was just a bad connection on the RGB2HDMI header, so I've fixed that and it looks like this now:
Whereas before the grey box and text were the same colour. Also, PoP is now behaving differently.
It was flipping between light and dark intensities, but now just works as advertised :)
