	This is incorrect, while the Sega Genesis game console is only
supplied with connectors for standard NTSC TV hookup (RCA male cable or
coxial cabling) you can purchase alternative cabling. Redmond Cables
sells a Genesis-->AppleColor RGB cable connector, and it does work.
In fact, I recommended a local person call Redmond for this cable and
he now shares his AppleColor RGB monitor between his IIgs and Genesis. :)

	Redmond also sells cables to connect the AppleColor RGB to the
SuperNintendo game console and Amiga computers. Does anyone know if they
have a toll-free number or FAX line?
