NO. It's out of specs for the 1084. We tried it ourselves and got 1084's
running EGA, but one died during this experiment and the other showed
only a very small picture. Maybe some samples of the 1084 can stand it
and work properly, but it can't be guaranteed. NOT RECOMMENDED.

The 1084 makes a nice CGA monitor, though :-)
