Hi Martin et al. The CSA faq's contain some info on using a 1084d monitor (the one with a 9 pin d connector) with the IIgs but make no mention of the earlier and more commonplace 1084. The earlier 1084 has no composite SYNC input on the 6 pin Din Analog input, only seperate HSYNC and VSYNC inputs. Internally the HSYNC and VSYNC signals are just joined together through a couple of 480 Ohm resistors. If you connect the composite SYNC output of the IIgs to either the VSYNC or HSYNC inputs of the 1084 (BUT NOT BOTH!) it works just fine. I used a lead as follows with success: Apple 15D <-> 1084 6Din. (ANALOG) 13 GND 3 2 RED 4 5 GRN 1 9 BLU 5 3 SYNC 2 (HSYNC) Enjoy Leslie
