It should be noted, that in order to produce 'correct' Apple II colours
from IIe/IIc RGB, you either need an analog RGB adapter (the only one I
know about being the A.E ColourLink option for RamWorks), or a decoder
circuit added to the output of a digital RGB adapter.
The AppleColour Monitor 100 actually had such a thing internally, since
it was actually an adapted analog display, but it simply mimiced the
digital colours.
IIRC, there was a switch inside this monitor that could disable the
digital decoder, making it compatible with the IIgs RGB monitor. This
information was provided to purchasers of the IIgs upgrade kit for the
IIe.
