To get the best preformance you should get an adapter that convert from RGB analog to Chroma- Lumina. You can get one of these grom C-LTD for around 30 bucks. The results are OK, but not as good as a 1084. Also, you can use the video out port to go directly into the video-in port on the monitor. This is free, but the quality leaves much to be desired. Similarly, you can try to split the multiplexed video signal into chroma-lumina (this should be a fairly common circut) but the results will surely be too poor for most any use (color-bleeding, edge fade-out,smudgy, etc) The Parts in the C-LTD RGB to Chroma-Lumina look very simple, but I have no idea how to make one myself. But now that I think about it, I will look at the parts, and tell you what they are. (If I can) Charlweed Hymerfan, The Dude
