In that case, a standard RCA cable should suffice. You should be able to do mono video out from the 2000 to the single connector on the 1081. If there are three connectors on the monitor, remember that two of them are video (old-style luma/chroma) and one is audio. I *think* you can connect to either video.

If you want good video quality, you'll need a 23-pin to DIN video cable. This might be the right kind. Or if there's a 9-pin DSUB connector, one of these. Hard to tell what your monitor has, since there are a gazillion different versions of each model number monitor!

Ah, SCART! If only it were more common in the USA. Would make finding an Amiga display much easier.

You'll want the RGB (more expensive, sorry) variant for maximum quality. The AV version will work, but you'll get a fuzzy, black and white picture.

In fact, if you're using composite video out from the Amiga, then the SCART cable gives you no advantage in this case. Just run a single RCA cable from the mono video port on the 2000 to the video connector on the monitor - the leftmost one. Quality will be identical to the AV SCART cable.
