And the answer would be that with my Apple //gs, I'm getting video,
however, it's B&W. I assume I should be getting colour output on the
composite port?
Uh, yeah ^^;;
Perhaps your Canopus is set to PAL (or your IIgs isn't NTSC)?
I thought the composite output on a IIgs was mono only. To get color you
have to use the RGB output. To run it on a VGA monitor I'd use a scan
doubler such as the Micomsoft XRGB-2.
That doesn't make sense. I'm not saying I know for sure but the composite
output on the //gs should be color, just like the rest of the ][ series.
