OK, I'll give that a try. So nobody can vouch for the addition of a 75
Ohm resistor between composite synch and ground?

Thanks for your help.  :-)

I must admit, after reading all the descriptions floating around about
using 1084's with the IIgs I expected this to be a whole lot simpler.

cheers,

To connect my Atari 1040ST to a 1084 monitor, i had to put a 50 ohm
resistor on both my horizontal and vertical sync.

Since the wires are short (and not even coax), the 75 or 50 ohm resistor
is not important as a termination.

Therefore, it's primary function must be either: 1) to load the sync
line to reduce its level so that it does not overload the sync circuits
of the 1084, or 2) to provide a DC return for a capacitively coupled
sync signal (but in the latter case, a 4.7k resistor would work as
well, so perhaps not).
