 The gscartw has 8 inputs and 2 simultaneous outputs. As I need at least 16 ports, I'll have to get two of them... though my previous (costly) experience with the Hydra has made me wary and I'll get a single unit for now, test it with everything and then buy another unit.

 Saturn works over RGB SCART cable through the gscartw to the OSSC. This //wouldn't// work with the Hydra.

 Works great - really clear image (probably the best I've ever seen from a Spectrum). Both the 128K ROM and the DivIDE+ firmware load and display perfectly. As a reminder my 128K +3 //wouldn't// display on the Hydra-W.

+Works great; syncs and displays fine. The Playstation, however, is a tricky one as it has so many display modes and resolutions. On boot or within the PSIO screen it is displaying a 625i interlaced signal; something the OSSC doesn't really do well with (even in bob-blend mode); I'm fortunate enough that my screen (Dell U2410) supports 480/576i, so it's easier to set pass-through for interlaced modes. In progressive mode (the OSSC lists 262-264p for the couple of games I've tried) the OSSC works great, as expected.
