This post also applies to getting C128 RGBI and MDA/CGA/EGA to work on CRT TVs.

I'm looking at 4 adapters to achieve this (I don't know if linking to shops is allowed, I'll just post names):
- CGA2RGBv2
- C128 RGBi to RGBa adapter
- CGA2SCART PRO
- MCE-adapter

However, none of these specify sync voltages, some don't mention the polarity, some don't mention sync type.

OTOH most seem to have XX khz in > XX khz out, and according to https://www.dosdays.co.uk/topics/15khz_monitors.php only CGA is 15khz (and I presume only in 320x200 mode?).

1084s-P2 is a 15khz only analog monitor, and most common CRT TVs are too plus they don't usually expect TTL level sync.
I've read that GBS scalers also expect 3.3V sync as input.

I know there's a TTL mod for that monitor, but let's keep that for maybe later.

Does anyone have any experience with these, especially with "it fried mine", or should I look for something different?
