I taped the video from my IIe once, a few years ago.  I didn't have
any problems with jitter...and my presentation was eventually
displayed on a 19" monitor, which would've shown any such problems
clearly.  The only problem that I could see would be with taping
graphics...the 3.58 MHz color burst is added to the signal whenever
graphics are displayed on the IIe.  A motherboard modification might
kill it so that you can tape monochrome graphics.  On the IIGS, you
can tape double Hi-Res in monochrome by simply picking the appropriate
Control Panel setting...but Hi-Res graphics, it seems, are always
displayed in either color or grayscale. :-( (I learned that while
playing Raster Blaster the other night...isn't there supposed to be a
POKE that forces a monochrome Hi-Res display on the IIGS, instead of
color or grayscale?)
