When I played around with that combination (1084S+CoCo3), I noticed
feeding the CoCo3's Composite *Video* signal to the 1084's Composite
*Sync* (note the *difference*!) input just worked fine (the monitor
seems to have a built in "Sync Stripper"), so there's neither a need to
"mix" a Composite Sync from the CoCo3's H- and V-SYNC nor to "strip" it
from the Composite Video.
However, there are several versions around of the 1084S, so the only
thing I can say is you need to use it in analog mode (so there's no need
for the intensity signal) like Bob already mentioned.
I notice some "glitches" with either the '87 or '86 GIME (don't remember
which one) which occured from time to time. That's why I decided to use
a NEC MultiSync 2D for the CoCo.
