- A low-range multi-sync should work; whether the 1084 would depends on the
- range of its vertical hold control, which must cover 50 Hz; there were a
- number of "1084" models, all of which should do this. The height control
- should adjust OK. Horizontal sweep frequency is not be a problem.
-
- SVGA monitors can be a headache with either NTSC or PAL AGA machines if
- their horizontal sweep range does not go as low as 27.5 KHz (dblPAL) and
- 27.66 (dblNTSC). They can only be used with earlier Amigas equiped with
- scan doubler boards.
-
- That's one reason I'm using a PicassoII on this Hitachi CM-2110; it won't
- go below 31 KHz. Not the main reason, tho.
