Looking at how many models of the 1084 there have been, the 1084 model seems
more like a way of life than a particular model. =)

At the neighbourhood salvation army, there is a Philips 14" TV boasting RGB
capability. I think it's got a DIN connector, and it's still got a service
manual in a pocket in the back.

Why? I find it an extremely useful connector. No connector comes close in both
standardisation and amount of signals.

Why not? And how about the 3W3?
