My brain must have been on strike when I first thought about that circuit.
The node is always low unless RGBI is 1100. In that case, the outputs of
the invertors on the R and G paths will be high, and the diodes on the B
and I paths will be connected to invertor outputs which are also high.
This is then inverted by IC252/6C and pulls the main G node low through a
1K resistor (R271).
I think it's basically a little modification that makes dark yellow look
more like brown. To be true to Commodore's intentions for the C128 VDC, I
think you have to incorporate this into VDC SCART leads. It's a matter of
personal taste, of course. I would be interested to hear if there are any
Commodore 80 column RGBI monitors which don't have this circuit.
