- I used my 1084S with both a C128 and an Amiga...sometimes at the same
- time...
-
- THe front panel switch would allow me to use the Amiga (with the switch
- out (RGB) and with the switch in, I could use the 40 column mode of the
- C128. If I activated the 80 column mode of the C128, it would override
- any Amiga video input. This annoyance was solved by using a switch on
- the 9 pin output from the C128 and deactivating the signal going to the
- monitor.
-
- Worked great...now I have an external tuner hitched up to the CVBS
- inputs, and it works great during those huge downloads at 2400 baud
- (ick!)
