Hey Guys--

Awesome to hear the Apple II can do color -- I guess we only used the
green monitors in school, so didn't realize that.

Also I have several older composite monitors, but I thought something
other then composite would yield the best results.  I also have an
older Hercules amber monitor (9-pin connector) -- anyway to rig this
up?  A friend of mine many many years ago had an identical monitor
working on his Coco 3 (yup I have one of those too) with the RGB
connector, and I was wondering if it was possible to connect this to
the Apple II -- but if the only stock output is composite I guess
that's nixed.

At any rate, I'll try the composite monitors I have, and with any luck
they'll give me the clean output I'm looking for.

Thanks, and take care --

Ringo
