The Mac II is Whoa - one of the selling points of the //c is the "built in" RGB port (I've never used it, but I understand it requires some sort of adapter available from Video-7). The //c is, in any case, digitial RGB while the IIgs (and the Amiga I think) is analog. Common RGB cards for the //e are digital; I havne't heard of an analog card for the //e (don't even know if such a thing is possible, but I suppose it is). >analog RGB I believe, as is the PC's VGA mode.
