Bingo on the math-coprocessor.

The 2-pin connector is for COMPOSITE VIDEO.

Just plug your IIe composite video monitor into the composite
video output of the PCT.  The 2-pin connection.  Then
you don't need colorswitch.

Just stick the 8087 and run the PCT and configure the
8087 in its control panel and then you are set.
