Hello 

Steve and Gene are much more experienced and knowledgable than I, but having 
said that, it seems there were 1084 monitors and then there were 1084 
monitors. I had a 1084s (stereo) that came with the DB23/DIN interface cable. 
That monitor work great with my CoCo3. No alterations required. It look 
exactly like the Magavox Professinal monitor I currently run on both machines. 
BTW, my Amiga came from Gene 8-). Now Commodore sold another monitor they 
called 1084 that had a more rounded case and used a DB23/DB9 interface cable. 
That monitor is the one (as I understand it) ithat require synch magic to be 
done in order to use it with the CoCO3.
