Hi,

Well i got the monitor to sync putting the composite sync onto pin 2.
Though was a bit disappointed with the picture as wasn't as clear/good
as the 1084s-d2 monitor I have (well ignoreing the weak red
colour ;-)). Had thought they were based on similar tubes....getting a
nice collection of monitors though ;-)
