You got that one right... IIRC, the IIgs video is about half the sync
frequency of a regular VGA monitor. I don't even think multisync monitors
will work with it. Supposedly the original Mac II video card could handle
the IIgs monitor for a Mac, but as far as I know you can't do it the other
way(unless they make VGA cards for the Apple II bus). I think all the info
is on Apple's TIL web site(I don't rmemeber the URL).
