You're probably right.  I am just used to using the composite output as
mono only as for some reason most ][e's in Australia don't output true NTSC
color.  You'll get color on an Apple supplied composite monitor, but not on
other NTSC monitors (you won't get color on the apple monitor from other
NTSC sources either).  Such ][e motherboards are marked "International
NTSC", from memory the colorburst frequency is different.
