Sounds like the same problem I had with the 1084 - I think the older
Korean (Daewoo) made ones seem to have this problem (which mine is).
There were two main sources of manufacture - Daewoo, and Philips -
identified by the model number. Daewoo produced models ending in 'D' -
e.g. 1084S-D; whilst Philips produced models ending in 'P' - e.g.
1084S-P. Anyway, to get the 1084 working, you probably need to use the
same fix that I did - let me know if you want details and I'll see if
I can dig them up.

Glad to hear you got it all working! If you're like me, you'll find
the IIgs is quite a fun machine to play around with.
