I don't know if this is quite the info you're after, but I'll try.

Some time ago I got a microvitec 14 inch screen from a local school they were using with archie's. The sticker on the back says "Manufactured for Acorn Computers".

With the help of a gender changer, it worked fine on my 500. Inside it looks very much like an early 1080, or 1084.  It even suffers from the power switch problem suffered by some amiga monitors.

Seems worth a try :-)

My Acorn monitor used a standard 1084 23-9 pin cable with a home-made 9-9 gender changer. (Actually, it was 2 d-subs soldered back to back!).
This may help you "reverse engineer" a cable?

If you're trying to convert a monitor with a DIN plug, I can't help.  :-?
