[Coco] Using a Commodore 1084S with the CoCo

[Joel Ewy]

One other thing to think about.  I use my CM-8s with Amiga 1000s and
A500s, and I have to invert one (or both?) of the sync signals to make
it work.  So I suspect you'd need to do the same thing going the other
way around.  I put a TTL inverter chip in a D-sub housing.  I don't
remember which sync signal(s) need(s) to be inverted off the top of my
head, but I could probably figure it out if you get stuck.  But I can
confirm that an Amiga will work with a CoCo RGB monitor this way, so you
should be able to get the reverse to work too.
