I apologize for asking such an elementary question in this group, but my previous experience is with MSDOS machines (no flames please). I posted this question previously but received no replies, so I'm trying again: What interface boards exist that permit a ][e to use an RGB monitor? I thought I remember an Apple RGB board. Are there any other brands? What do they generally cost? Are there any boards available that permit a ][e to use an analog color monitor. The monitor we are trying to use is the Sony RGB/monitor/TV; I believe it has NTSC, RGB, and analog inputs. Thanks in advance. M Volow, VA Medical Center, Durham, NC 27712 mvolo@ecsvax.UUCP

I hope that the following helps. It is taken from the Technical Introduction to the Apple IIGS publication. "At one time, Apple provided an RGB adaptor card and an RGB monitor, the AppleColor (TM) 100 monitor, for the Apple II. Using that system, Hi-Res and Double Hi-Res color displays were restricted to a horizontal resolution only 140, a restriction that does not apply to the Apple IIGS. Note that an AppleColor 100 Monitor requires separate digital signals (as opposed to the Analogue RGB on the IIGS), so it will not work on the Apple IIGS." The Sony RGB monitor is compatible with the II GS analogue RGB so that I don't think that the Apple RGB adaptor card would be suitable.
