Wasn't there a schematic or something, for using Amiga monitos on CoCo's?
I know the stereo 1084S's still fetch a few $ on eBay, but what of the 
cheaper
1084's and 1080's? Also, a commodore 1950/1960 is a true multi-sync, down to 
15kHz

I remember using one of my CM-8's on an amiga500 many, many moons ago...
