Well, this in conjecture, but supposedly the voltage levels on the
SNES r,g,b pins is a bit lower than what the AppleColor needs. I made
a cable, and the screen is black until you turn the AppleColor off,
and then you can see the SNES image shrink away for about 1/10 a second. :(

I called Redmond and they said they were unable to get it to work either.

Anyway, I'm not saying that it's impossible to do, but it's not a simple
case of connect pin 2 to pin 3, etc.
