SNES does have RGB capability. For example it"s possible to get a stable raster on NEC MultiSync "classic" using the RGB and sync pins. However, the video levels are not RS-170 compatible. The DC offset needs to be filtered out with some large capacitors and the peak-to-peak video amplitude may need to be reduced to 0.7v by using a lower load impedance than 75 ohms. The Y/C (S-VHS) signals *appear* to be directly usable.
