Hi!
Is there any way to connect an apple IIC Plus to a "modern"
monitor?
It has a 15 pin connector that has a strange pin out - and a
composit video out on an RCA plug.
I currently use an apple monochrome (tilt-y tube) monitor
to see 80 col text and a Panasonic monitor to see the color
modes. I have to lug to switch them.

Keep in mind that the IIc uses NTSC monitors. If you have an obsolete video
monitor (not a computer monitor, but one from a component video system) that
will work fine in either color or monochrome mode. Some older NTSC types don't
have the bandwidth to support the 80-column mode, so start by trying an IBM PC
Color monitor. You may find that adequate, though small.

Composite out
Its pretty much a normal NTSC signal, just find a monitor with the
bandwidth to look nice at 80 col.
15 Pin
This isn't really a video output, its a video output ADAPTER connection, ie
the signals are there, but without the juice to drive more than a few
inches of cable. Sounds like a great project for somebody, designing a
modern monitor adapter connection.

Couldn't you do it with a VGA line driver?

Why would anyone want to do such a thing? You just it hook up with a simple RCA
cable to a TV set with a VIDEO input, which nearly all of them have nowadays.

:^) <--- note "anti smart a** smiley"
1) tv too big to tote into den
2) Wife usually won't let computer out of den
3) Color Monitor I have (hook to VCR type ) won't show 80
col text well enough to read (well almost...)
4) Monochrome monitor shows text fine but no color
5) Now swapping monitors depending on output... bad for back.
I may have to hook them both up with a rca "Y" plug...

I am thinking of using the video input I have on a couple of PC/mac
computers and just putting the Apple II era video in a window of my main
monitor.
