so my previous understanding of a CGA video card was you had 2 options, you could output via the digital DE-9 for CGA, Hercules and all the other modes that use the CGA standard and then you had your RCA jack for outputting color composite via the analog cable to a TV with a composite jack.
I'm told though that you can also output color or mono composite signal via the DE-9 to a CGA monitor which is called composite CGA. can anyone elaborate on this? does this mean one can output a composite color signal to a CGA monitor that lacks a RCA input for games that support it? whenever I try this I just get a monochrome image which I first assumed was Hercules mode.
