can the cpc464 work with a 1084s?

[Generale]

...like the topic says:
Can an Amstrad CPC464 work with a 1084S monitor? With a suitably wired din to d9 that is.

I just want to try the machine in colour without blurring. I have the mono monitor and the UHF modulator, but I don't like using TVs as monitors very much.

Hang on. Conversely I guess the UHF modulator could work with an amiga. Food for thought.

hmmm....very interesting.

So the amstrad is digital/ttl level?

Now I'm thinking of my other amstrads I've just sort of ended up with. Ie, the ibm compatible one that looks like the a500...don't remember its name atm, and my scary portable that runs off D cells and has a built in modem.

I've been meaning to play with the cpc464 a bit more. Looks like an interesting machine. Been too busy with everything, including torturing my poor a500.

Also been meaning to set up a c64 again. I miss them.

I've known a few people that use their 1084S for exactly that.
It used to be the 3rd monitor on my PC a while ago too.

Are the Philips ones you are referring to the ones that look a lot like an older commodore monitor but badged philips?

Just asking because I noticed an abundance of them in the tv series 'ocean girl' this morning.
reminds me of the c64 in red dwarf.

You have a working plus4. I envy you. I have a dead one  :-(

This should be some fun.
