Mine only has one, and yes it's composite output.  The colors are different 
than the 16 textmode colors, however; they're more similar to (but not exactly 
like) Apple II double-hires mode colors.

Two?  The only IBM PC video card I've seen with two RCA outputs are some clone 
EGA cards.  I own one; haven't tested it, but based on memory it seemed at the 
time I last held it that both RCA jacks are composite output and can be used to 
drive two monitors at the same time.
