That connector is not an RGB outlet. It is a port that provides the video
information for external adaptors. The most common adaptor being a TV
modulator. I would guess that an RGB adaptor would be possible, but the
latest Apple //c Reference Manual makes no mention of the availability
of either an RGB adaptor or an RGB monitor.
