IBM CGA cards liked to use positive going sync rather than negative.
Also fyi, the Commodore 1702 monitor was built by JVC as an HR12U. The 1084
was built by several contractors, including Toshiba, and Phillips/Magnavox.
The analog/digital RGB inputs were nice, but since the scan rate is limited
to 15 kHz, I see little value in them except for Amigas, or as a straight
composite video monitor.
Best thing to find would be a nultisync monitor that went from a5 kHz on up
to 35 or 40 kHz, RGB analog.
