- Not possible for less than the cost of a cheap SVGA monitor these days. The 1084
- is a 15.75KHz horizontal sweep only monitor. The VGA modes are 31.4KHz
- horizontal sweep. The electronics to make the conversion will cost more than a
- new monitor and likely leave you with enough headaches the asprin bill will soon
- exceed the price of a new monitor.
