How to convert composite (yellow) to 9 circle rgb port?
« on: July 12, 2012, 07:21:49 AM »
Hey guys,

 I have a commodore 1084S monitor, but at the back end of the monitor there are no ports for the normal yellow composite port. Instead, it have this circle port what looks like an RGB port, circle, but 9 pins. I have another classic computer I want to use it on this monitor, but this classic computer supports the normal yellow composite port. Where can I find a converter that converts the yellow composite port to the 9 pin circle rgb port? Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of a 1084S without a CVBS connector, but then I haven't heard of one with a 9 pin DIN connector either. It's usually a 6 pin DIN connector or a 9 pin D connector.
 
Commodore didn't make monitors, they just stuck the current badge on whatever marginally similar monitors they could lay their hands on.
 
Do you use the monitor already? What is it hooked up to? A picture of the back would be interesting.

You are right mine is 6 pin din connector.

Is there an adapter to convert from composite to 6 bin adapter you can guide me through URL link? Thanks.

I can't find anything suitable, it's not something that most people would ever want to do. You might get lucky if you keep looking, but it's going to be easier and probably cheaper to get another monitor.

You are right again, my monitor does indeed have a cvbs. THANK you so much for everything. It is working for the two computers now. Indeed the best monitor I have ever put my hands on the 1084s. Everyone should own one ;)

The last run of 1084 monitors came through without composite support at all. They had dropped the C-128, and C-64 (the other 8 bit computers had been dropped earlier). They no longer needed to support any machines that had composite output.
They are pretty rare, this in only the second one I have seen or heard of.
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

This one does appear to have composite after all.
 
I don't remember commodore stopping selling the c64 before they went bankrupt. Wikipedia says it was discontinued in April 1994. Although I doubt they sold many monitors to go with them by then.
