It is not wired for the IIc, IIe or the Laser-128. I do have this same monitor on my IIgs and I have a Laser-128EX in limbo for now. It has a 15 pin socket for video connection to RGB. I believe it is the same for the IIc but not sure what he IIe uses. I also believe the IIe RGB monitor requires more signal lines such as Intensity, Horiz. sync and vertical sync. I know the IIe RGB will not work on the IIgs. The IIgs RGB monitor uses less connections and may not work with what you hope. Try it if you are handy with the solder. I believe the CGA connection requirements are similar to the IIgs RGB requirements.
