thought the IIc had a color killer like the other Apple IIs, in which case it doesn't put out color burst in text mode, only in graphics. The first 100 or so Apple IIs lacked the color killer circuit, and it was a common user hack to add it, or Apple would exchange motherboards.
yes after looking into it it does have a color killer, and it is functional, 80 col is horrid to read oh well, but interesing note, its quite clear when my scope probe is on it AND the voltage levels on the display data are just a bit high, maybe that is flippin the tv out, I dunno

Will your LCD TV or monitor display Apple II text? Graphics? What brand & model is it?
That is sorta my question too, although it does not directly effect me as all the tv devices at my house work fine with the //c

Will your DV camera accept a video feed?
I beleive that this will run into the same pitfalls as the super new digital lcd type systems, where the difference in timing will cause issues

Can you video tape off your monitor screen? Is it best to use a solid state camera or one with a pickup tube? Will solid state pickups show bars rolling thru the screen? There are some demos I'd like to post on the web, but since they require peripheral cards, they can't be emulated. I'll need to shoot the screen.
when I was a kid I used to make goofy movies with my friends, we always just jacked the //e into the back of the vcr and it always came out crystal, but only on the tape when played back, on the tv though the vcr it looked like low rez clown vomit
