Darn :(

What does the 80 column output look like?

I am not a commodore 128 expert, I do have a 128d, but I am guessing that this is interference of some sort, a bad Cap or bad video cable.

Do you have a 1084 lying around (i bet you do)?  Hook up the 128D 80 column output up to the RGBI input on it (the only problem is finding a cable).

What I suggest may not work on all 1084 monitors (I am not sure).  My 1084S-P has a separate RGB and RGBI (Both Round DIN connectors) and S Video inputs.  Infact I have both an A2000 and a 128d hooked up to the one monitor at the same time (though I dare not turn them on at the same time).  I noticed on-line that many of the 1084 have only one RGB input (a 9 pin DB).  I do not know if this will work with RGBI of the 128d

The TTL RGB would have worked on the A1081.

I think that some of the old CGA monitors out there would work.  There may be some on ebay.  They would need the ability to do RGBI.

@Darrin

Now that you have a commodore 128d, would you like the chameleon 64 to work with it?
