thanks for the info Robert, FYI the IIgs does have composite out as
well as analog RGB. I'm guessing that the Commodore monitors probably
have a different cables? The IIgs uses a 15 pin cable (IIRC of which
only 8 pins are used). I'd prefer not to have to do any more rewiring -
ie. I'd like to be able to plug and play (to misuse the term).
