Is there really a line-eater?
No sooner do I flame some poor fellow about reposting the RGB question,
when answers start appearing. One even appeared in my mailbox,
in 'Outside Apple', their newsletter for certified developers.
"Note that the Apple //gs outputs analog, not digital RGB
signals...Other analog RGB monitors nkown to work with the
Apple //gs include several models by Hitachi, Panasonic,
Sanyo, Mitsubishi, Conrac, and Commodore. Digital RGB
monitors such as Apple's older Color Monitor 100 and IBM
RGB monitors either won't work at all, or will work w/
unpredictable results...A DB-15 connector on your color
monitor is no indication that it's analog RGB...Even if
your monitor is known to be analog RGB, check its pinouts
first before connecting it with an Apple //gs, to make
sure your monitor is comfortable with Pins 7 and 8."
The Apple //gs's 15-pin RGB video signals are as follows:
1: signal ground (red) 8: +12 volts DC
2: Analog RED w/ sync 9: Analog BLUE w/ sync
3: Composite sync 10: No connection
4: No connection 11: Sound 1V peak-to-peak
5: Analog GREEN w/ sync 12: NTSC/composite color video out
6: signal ground (green) 13: signal ground (blue)
7: -5 volts DC 14: No connection
15: No connection
Shield: System ground
