many thanks to all who wrote and replied me; my ideas are much more 
clear now.

A little problem remains: I'd like to build a cable I can Interchange 
between DVB card and the MATROX g400max card, so I will be able to xmame 
on TV for example.

Matrox has a 15pin output; I still have to find the exact pin-out for a 
RGB scart cable. However I have two possibilities:

1) put a 5x2 flatcable connector to the dvb card and a 15 pin 'to be 
soldered' female connector as the rgb output on the case; then build a 
scart cable with a 15 pin male connector to be used either with matrox 
or dvb;

2) build the exact same solution as you, Rene, I already have few 
suitable serial cables, and build a sort of 15 to 9 connector for the 
matrox.

I hope I've explained myself; however I can't choose between the two 
options...! Do you have any advice?
