A followup to myself because I think I do now understand something about this
5 pin video port...

The SWoC pages list a 7 pin video connector for the CBM 600/700. However, this
is the *internal* video connector (0.1 post header) on the main board, not the
external one! I'm not even sure if the 600s have this internal video connector
or if it is specific to the 700 line (its pinout is listed in the service
manual, but I have currently no 600 open for reference).

The 600 has a DIN 5 pin *external* video connector with the following pinout:

   	1 - video
   	2 - GND
   	3 - VSYNC
   	4 - composite video
   	5 - HSYNC

Hope this clears things up (adding an explanation to the SWoC pages would also
be helpful).
