Subject: Commodore 1084s
Compatible with IBM CGA modes? Same pinout?
As to a related topic, the C128 outputs RGBI like a CGA card?
The 1084/1084s will do RGBA (for the Amiga) and RGBI (CGA/C128 80-column
mode) as long as you have the appropriate cable.
The monitor came with both RGBA and RGBI cables when sold (and I think it
came with an 8-pin DIN cable for the C64/128 40-column mode also, which it
also supports).
There are switches to flick/buttons to press to select RGBA/RGBI mode and to
switch between RGBx and standard composite/chroma-luma mode.
