>>I recently got an AppleColor RGB Monitor model A2M6014 (manufactured

>>either an Apple IIc, a Laser 128,

The AppleColor RGB Monitor model A2M6014 is for the IIgs. It is not
wired for the IIc, IIe or the Laser-128. I do have this same monitor on
my IIgs and I have a Laser-128EX in limbo for now. It has a 15 pin
socket for video connection to RGB. I believe it is the same for the
IIc but not sure what he IIe uses. I also believe the IIe RGB monitor
requires more signal lines such as Intensity, Horiz. sync and vertical
sync. I know the IIe RGB will not work on the IIgs. The IIgs RGB
monitor uses less connections and may not work with what you hope. Try
it if you are handy with the solder. I believe the CGA connection
requirements are similar to the IIgs RGB requirements.
