Re: Telemax RGB Color board

Could be the connection to "Ground" on the motherboard.

I don't think so, that wouldn't make sense, because Ground is present on the
slots. I think it is a connection to the GRAPHICS TIME signal, which is
often just labeled GR. It is present on pin 58 of the AUX slot.

14M --> Green Lead

Probably a connection to the 14 MHz signal.
Yes. It is available on pin 32 of the AUX slot.

Ae  --> Blue Lead
A+  --> n/c

Clearly this is configured for a IIe.
And the blue lead is probably connected to some other
signal on a IIe motherboard.

It might be the video signal. You can find that on pin 28 of the AUX slot.

Are these signals available at any of the IC pins on the board? That would be a simpler point to connect the micro clips.

More information: Turns out I have a second, unmarked, board in my collection that bears a superficial resemblance to the Telemax. This one is marked 'DMS C9e'. Same set of trim pots, but it's about 1/2 the size.

Rather than clips, this board has a pair of machine-pin sockets on the end of the three wires (14M, VID, GR). VID and GR are connected to pins 6 and 9 respectively of a 14-pin socket carrying a 74LS10 chip. The 14M wire goes to pin 7 of a 16-pin socket that is not fitted with a chip.

I'm going to take a WAG that these boards provide essentially the same digital RGB output that the AE RamWorks RGB piggyback does.
