Here is a picture of the card I have: http://i41.tinypic.com/zlvgx.jpg
As far as I know, the Amdek monitor for which this card was made was
TTL. The document "TheMarcorlandiModification_TTLRGB.pdf" would
indicate that a TTL card will in fact display on a GS analog monitor,
but only 8 of 16 colors (as I am getting). The R2R mod mentioned in
that document is a fix, so that the GS monitor will display all 16
colors. That's why I'll probably do the same mod for this card.
I just borrowed a CGA monitor and am going to see if I get anything on
that, despite the reversed sync polarity. As the picture indicates,
this card has connectors for both a DB-19 and DB-9 output.
As for the IIc RGB interface, yes, there is an analog version for use
with a GS monitor. I have one and it is currently listed on my recent
trade list, posted on the "marketplace".
