1084 Cable

[Ken86Stang]

I recently picked up a 1084S, but no cable. Is there a cable that I can buy at Microcenter or any PC store, or do I have to get a used cable off Ebay?

I had the same problem of you and have found the cable on evay and now my monitor is OK!

good luck!

You can use a composite until you manage to get hold of a RGB Cable, It'll do the job. (quality results may vary, obviously) but at least it'll be useable

Ebay is your friend, but not always a friend do what you want...

If you have the skills, you can make your own cable. It's not trivial, but it's not rocket science, too. If you have a soldering iron, the desired length of cable and the proper connectors, do it yourself!

For the pinouts: 1084S DIN 6 pins. (http://pinouts.ru/Video/C1084a_pinout.shtml)

Make sure you have this connector on the back of your 1084S. If not, give us the right connector.

BTW: the Amiga RGB connector pinout (http://pinouts.ru/Video/AmigaVideo_pinout.shtml)

This is NOT the right cable! This one is: eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/AMIGA-COMMODORE-MONITOR-1084-COMPATIBLE-CABLE-6-23PINS_W0QQitemZ220205857835QQihZ012QQcategoryZ459 8QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).

Bizzare, because that's exactly the cable I have for my 1084s. Go figure.

Mmmm... There seem to be different 1084S monitors. From www.amiga-hardware.com:

Pin 1: Green
Pin 2: Horizontal Sync
Pin 3: Ground
Pin 4: Red
Pin 5: Blue
Pin 6: Vertical Sync

Pin-Outs (Digital RGBI, 8-Pin DIN)

Pin 1: Unused
Pin 2: Red
Pin 3: Green
Pin 4: Blue
Pin 5: Intensity
Pin 6: Ground
Pin 7: Horizontal Sync
Pin 8: Vertical Sync

Pin-Outs (1084S DB9)

Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Ground
Pin 3: Red
Pin 4: Green
Pin 5: Blue
Pin 6: Unused
Pin 7: Composite Sync
Pin 8: Horizontal Sync
Pin 9: Vertical Sync

The "middle" pinouts are intended for DIGITAL video only (=16 colours).

It's just a case of finding the correct connector for the specific 1084.

Thanks for the help!

Just looked again at the back of my monitor to be sure... it's a 9 pin D connector and the Model # on the monitor is 1084S-D1

I think I know what I need!
