It may be like the 1084S monitor that I have hooked up to my daughters
IIgs in that it requires a small value resistor between composite
synch and ground.

I refer you to the relevent thread here:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.sys.apple2/browse_frm/thread/7a9c31b72c99fa88/cca240bd370259fc?lnk=gst&q=1084S#cca240bd370259fc

Have a read through that and see if it sounds familiar. The solution
presented within that thread did fix the problem for me - the monitor
in question has now been in use for nearly a year.

If you get stuck or need pics of what I did, let me know and I'll see
what I can do.

Cheers,
Mike
