One other
question: What was the RGB port on the //c used for? Was this
for a high-resolution color monitor or what (other than the LCD panel)?
Actually, I don't believe its an RGB port. According to the manual, the
little icon above the port represents "Color TV". The port is used to
connect an RF modulator. I recall reading that the only way to get RGB
monitors to work with a IIc is via a composite-to-RGB adapter, which had
not yet shipped by the time the book was published.
IIRC, the 15-pin port outputs raw signals which would be converted to RGB
via an adapter (Video7 made one, don't know who else). This differs from
the Laser 128 which can put out either the raw signals or a RGB
(determined by the setting of a switch on the bottom).
