Hi all.

I was pointed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_II_graphics

... and noticed 'The "Line Graphics" mode' was new to me.
Has anyone seen an Apple II with AN0 hooked up like this?

It seems more likely to be confusion with the AN3 low / 7MLORES mode
on a //e as described by Sather, but I thought I'd ask c.s.a2 and
suggest that every so often some of us might like to check Wikipedia
for this kind of thing.


But it specifies annunciator 0, which I have used for lots of different
things but never noticed any effect on graphics.  (But then, I don't use
lo-res graphics or double lo-res graphics much at all.)

I'm not aware of *any* connection between AN0 and the Apple video
circuits, so this seems unlikely.

It is described as a color/monochrome switch, which might just be
someone's mod, not standard equipment.


I checked it on my enhanced //e, and there's nothing there.

I revised the Wikipedia entry, deleting the incorrect "mode", and
re-wrote the confused and incorrect description of the 15-pin video
output connector, but my updates to entries have not always survived.
