Being completely ignorant about hardware issues, I have a question
about the feasibility of the following.  I saw an add for a monitor
in a computer mag (don't remember which, it's at home) from a mail
order house cheap.  The monitor is advertised as having a TTL
monochrome and RGB composite interface.  Now, I thought that the Mac
does RGB color.  So, could an Apple color card drive any generic
monitor with an RGB composite interface?  I myself do not have the
resources (especially knowledge) to try this experiment blindly.
So, does anybody know?  Does it seem that this monitor might work
with a Mac II or SE/30 video card, and does anybody know how to
actually hook this up.  Either mail or posts are fine.  If I receive
any replies and interest, I'll post summaries of any mail I get.
