Your 5162 main board is bad, or the actual PGA 286 is dead? A new processor would be trivial to obtain

No box or accoutrements, but still have the Texel 2x SCSI caddy loading CDROM and PAS16 from the original bundle my dad bought us in the 90s. SCSI port in the PAS is dead sadly, but they both still work fine otherwise

Be careful - a passive adapter from TTL RGB on DE-9 (EGA) to VGA or SCART will destroy the sink device. You must built in a RGB DAC to convert the TTL 5Vpp RGB to 700mVpp analog RGB The OSSC will be a paperweight if you plug EGA straight into any of its inputs with a direct adapter

the OSSC has a DE-15 input that supports RGBHV and RGBS - why use trash like SCART?
