Michael, I'm guessing this is why all the work is being done to get the
IIgs working with VGA and LCD monitors? Are there any other monitors
out there that share the IIgs's RGB monitors interface?

I might be opening up a can of worms here, but why is the clarity so
bad using composite? Is there limited bandwidth or excessive noise or
something? Is the composite output from the IIgs different from the //e
et al? I thought when the IIgs was originally introduced in '86, the
//e-->//gs upgrade kit could be used with the existing //e monitor. Did
Apple just not think clearly, or was it a clever plot to force these
users into buying a IIgs RGB monitor?

cheers,
