   Some Commodore monitors are digital and some are analogue, so you will 
need to find out which one is yours.  Luckily, I have a rare Commodore 
1902 with both onboard and I keep both my C128 (digital ttl) and my Amiga 
500 (analogue) plugged in at all times, and utilize a switch on the front 
panel to switch between the two formats.  It also has composite for the 
C64 side of my 128 as well as green screen monochrome.

   My monitor uses round din-type inputs (8 pin and 5 pin).  If yours is 9 
pin, I would hazard a guess that you have a digital monitor as I've only 
seen those type inputs on the digital versions.  The analogues usually 
have the round 5 pin dins for the Amiga cables.  My monitor also has a 
SCART connector but, being in Canada, I've nver used one of those, so I 
don't know if they were analogue or digital.
