Compatible with IBM CGA modes? Same pinout?
As to a related topic, the C128 outputs RGBI like a CGA card?

Yes, the 1084S is CGA compatible. Depending on the model/generation you
have, you'd either have a DE-9 connector in which case it is wired straight
through, or you'll have a round DIN connector. There are pinouts available
online. You have to flip a switch from Analog->Digital RGB to make it work
too.

Oh, and yes, the C-128 80 column output is CGA compatible as well.

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.
