Some Commodore monitors (like the Amiga 1080) actually had a metal plate screwed in under the monitor to help with the interference when placed on top of the Amiga 1000.  Which 1084S monitor do you have?  Some of them look just like the 1080 and others do not (boxy) Take a look under the monitor to see if it has a metal plate.  If not you can use some Aluminum foil folded over a few times and place it under the monitor whilst it is on top of the A1000.  :P

Aluminum foil worked for me on one of my computers...  Read/write errors without.  None with it...  

- Edit - But from what I remember it didn't work 100%. So iron or Steele would be best.
