In case this is of use to anyone, this is what I've tried the converter on.
Working nicely:
[1] Commodore 128DCR: straight-through DB9 cable, C128FIX switch active
[2] Amstrad CPC464: 6-pin DIN to DB9 cable, H_SYNC invert switch active, auto-adjust executed
[3] Amstrad CPC6128+: 8-pin DIN to DB9 cable
Planning to test on these:
[4] BBC Model B: same 6-pin DIN to DB9 as Amstrad
[5] Yeno SC-3000H: 8-pin DIN
[6] Enterprise 128: 14-way card-edge
[7] Amstrad PC1640: CGA/EGA output
[8] Amstrad PPC640: CGA output

As I use it across various computers I made these small mods to the case (mine's a few years old):
[1] Added C128FIX switch so I can activate it when using my C128D
[2] Added H_SYNC invert switch for use with the Amstrad CPC
[3] Added push button to trigger the GBS 8200's auto-adjust in case it needs to re-sync. when switching between computers
[4] Increased the hole in the panel for the power supply to 11.5mm so I can use an inline power switch
As the computers I have output a composite sync., I've chosen the H_SYNC input on the CGA side (tying V_SYNC to ground) so I only need a switch for the H_SYNC invert.
Interestingly, the Amstrad CPC sync. is inverted compared to the CPC+.
