Sorry I haven't jumped in sooner but I fell behind on my newsgroup
reading this week.  If I remember correctly, I had added the 75 Ohm
resistor to try to match the termination expected by the 1084S.  After
posting about my wiring someone else mentioned that they either didn't
need it for theirs or didn't think it was required and sure enough, my
current IIgs 1084S monitor cable no longer has a 75 Ohm resistor on it
and it works fine.

By the way, my having a good rep around here depends a lot on who you
are talking to.  :-)
