[Coco] Using a Commodore 1084S with the CoCo

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.
