Thank you, Hal. This makes a little more sense. Another user here reported that the composite video out only output a *monochrome* video signal and that I needed the backpack for the DB-15 to get any color at all. But maybe the regular IIc (not the IIc+) really does operate this way. So in summary, it sounds like I can hook up a color TV (that has a composite video-in port) straight to the composite video-out port of the IIc+ via an RCA-type cable and get color video without needing any additional hardware, but not high enough resolution to be able to read 80x24 text very well.
