Hi,
I have a Laser 128 (Apple IIc Clone) that has a RGB port (50~60 Hz
ajustable). My question is: Can I use an Apple Color Plus Display with
it ? Is this display a RGB display ? Must I have to do any adapter or
special cable to use it ?

If there is no mention on the back of the word "RGB" monitor, then its
likely to be a colour composite monitor, needing a single cable similar to
connecting a monochrome monitor on any Apple II. As far as, I know all
Apple RGB Colour monitors for Apple II have the word "RGB" in them.

Also, you'll need to find out, if the RGB port on Laser 128 or 128EX(?)
requires connection of Digital or Analog (also, known as TTL) RGB monitor,
hooking up the wrong one might damage it. That information is probably in
the user manual or FAQs somewhere.

The RGB port will require a different cable that ought to come with the
monitor or computer.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Jeff.

Sorry Jos�, the Apple Color Plus Display is a Macintosh monitor. It runs at a horizontal line frequency of 35 kilohertz. The Laser 128, like the IIgs, needs a monitor which can sync to 15kHz, the same frequency that TVs run at.
