Re: Apple IIc+

I use Video Sevens (15 pin) to connect my IIc AND IIc+ to my GS monitor 
and they work fine. The image is crystal clear and by using the switches 
on the box, you can change the color of the text as well. I use a 
three-way switchbox to choose either the IIc, IIc+ or the GS as the 
source signal. You have to lower the brightness a bit when using the 
non-GS equipment as the Video Seven puts out a very powerful and bright 
signal.

: with only a UHF/VHF coxial input). You can avoid the need for this
: by using the RCA inputs found on most VCRs, then switching to 'Video'
: or Aux-input of course. :) And although exteremly rare, if you can
: locate one, a small LCD display can be used with this port, although
: the quality is rather poor I hear.
