Should a MSX (Philips VG 8020) work with a Commodore 1084S monitor?
Regards,

You should be able to hook it up, I think. Check if the 8020 has a SCART connector with an RGB output, if it does you can probably hook it up...

Naah, it doesn't have a SCART-connector, just some din-type connector.

For info on the monitor check this link, by the way... Scroll a little up on that page for info on the SCART connector... |

It does have 8-pins. The cable I have too, but ends up in three cinch-connectors.

haha! (uhm, sorry  )
a 8-pin DIN-cable which ends up is a cassette deck cable, not suitable for pumping RGB signals around

Yeah, that's prolly Audio and Video then... I don't know if you can hook it up to the 1084S then... I think its an RGB monitor. You can hook it up to your TV like that though. The picture is probably a little better than an RF picture would be.

I am sure it is not a cassettedeck cable... unless Commodore managed to use cassettedeck cables as monitor cables :-) Actually, it is a Commodore-monitor cable provided with the monitor...
As a true Commodore-fan, I just got my first MSX-machine... so, I am sorry for asking silly questions, but MSX is totally new to me!
Thanks alot for the speedy replies...

Does it have one DIN connector or two? Is it by any chance marked with the word monitor, AV or something like it? Do you have a volt-meter or a multimeter?

The computer has two DIN-connectors marked Cassette and monitor. I am not technical so I don't have a multi-meter or something like that. But I am technical enough to know that I should use a cable between the connection marked Monitor and the monitor itself |

LOL, I 'upgraded' years ago (around 1985) when my parents were considering buying a VG 8020 for me, but eventually made the right choice and bought me a C64
But somehow, the VG 8020 fascinated me always, because I actually had set my mind on that one back then...
