    Hi golan!

    A 1084 can't handle a VGA signal. "Analog" means in this case "analog RGB" (15.7 kHz), as opposed to "digital RGB"/RGBI/CGA, whitch the C128 uses for
    the 80 col. display. You can use the 1084 with your Linuxbox if you get yourself a CGA card or a TV card.

    yes it works. I tried with an ati xpert. but I don't want to switch
    cables everytime. I think I'll get a cga adapter.
    Anyone have it?

    thanks
