There's the 1084's close cousin that was popular in Europe, a Philips monitor. Don't remember the model number. Instead of chasing down another 1084, you might want to look at the new Indivision ECS scandoubler board that will let you use a standard VGA display. That should get you set on the Amiga side, you'll of course still need a video monitor on the Toaster output. Those seem to still be pretty common, though expensive.

That'd be CM8833-II
