Hi, I'm Caleb Howard.  Having spent the last several months working
in Commodore Canada's Product Support department, I've come up against
the problem of the 2080's falling out of interlace mode.  The problem
is apparently in the flyback transformer of the monitor.  It is a known
flaw here in Canada, and there is a fix available.  Though, you'll
have to contact your authorized service centre to inquire about repair
policy.  
   
I've not been told of any difficulties with the 1084's, nor have
I heard similar reports from callers here in Canada.  It does seem
conceivable that the problems are similar in nature.

I hope that this helps.
