If I had RGB I'd use it for sure. I don't like composite video. Sure my

Example. If I use the green on my 1084S, I can't read 80col. But I can with
the apple monitor.
The AppleColor Composite monitor is a very special monitor. When it
senses the absence of the color burst signal, it not only ceases chroma
processing, it also broadens the luminance bandwidth, so that characters
are quite sharp.
I have never heard of another monitor that knows this trick. ;-)
My normal floppy controller is in slot 6. When I plop the controller from my
clone ][ in my IIe into slot 7 whilst leaving the existing controller in
slot 6, it tries to boot from drive 1 in slot 7 on powerup.
It's probably normal, but I was surprised because I thought that slot6 was
the first preference for booting.
The boot scan is from slot 7 downward.
