Not sure if you got my last posting Dave, so I'll try again.

I saw an Apple "RGB Monitor", model no. A9M0308, at the surplus store.
It has the same connector(db15) and symbol (three circles in a screen?) as 
the back of my Apple IIc at the video/TV port which is also db15(?).

Can this model be used with the IIc? Does it require the "RGB adapter"?
I could not find this model in the Apple "tech info library", anyone have 
data on it?
