Actually that's not entirely true. You can output Super-High-Res
video (640/320x200) through the IIgs's composite-out port, and
graphics will appear and in color, only _very_ poorly. Really to the
point of being unusable in some cases. Setting the Control Panel
display to 'Monochrome' produces acceptable results however,
but in in greyscales of course.
An Apple II Video Overlay Card allows you to output IIgs
Super-High-Res video modes through composite properly (in
color), if you can find one.
