At one point, the Amiga 1084S RGB monitor was so widely used, and the
number of different video port connectors used by Commodore so large, that
many 1084s shipped with 6 or 7 different cables in the box. Mine came that
way, and the extra cables have certainly come in handy as I added VICs and
C-64s to the collection. Why CBM didn't standardize on one or two connector
types and simplify their manufacturing and distribution I'll never know.

Cheers,
Mark.
