Well, the EGA mode is not unique to the DCR, only the programmable sync
polarities are, which are needed to signal the EGA resolution to an old
dual-frequency EGA monitor. Later Multisyncs as made by NEC, Mitsubishi and
Eizo would also work without this polarity signalling.
And I can't confirm the color on pin 7 behaviour with my own experience. I
surely remember that I had my 1702 connected to my DCR, and it did not show
any color. And what is even worse, somehow the signal on that pin is too
strong for a normal composite input, which makes the image much too bright.
Since I also had a 1084 I didn't have a reason to do anything about this.
