A-ha. Now it's clear: according to your wiring diagram, the newer 1084
models with DB-9 connector seem to HAVE a composite sync input on pin 7.
Building a custom SCART or DIN-8 cable to hook an MSX to them would be
straightforward.
But the problem is with older models which have a DIN-6 connector for
analog RGB with no comp. sync but separate h/v syncs. They have a separate
DIN-8 connector for digital RGB which HAS a comp. sync input BUT the analog/
TTL switch prevents that signal from feeding the sync circuitry when
working in analog mode 8:(
The best solution would be soldering a female SCART socket onto the empty
space reserved for that purpose, but a bridge on the place and my
suspicions that some components apart from the socket are missing
discouraged my purpose.

The older model is EXACTLY the same monitor but in white color. The newer
model is more robust, with smoother design, has a monochrome green switch,
includes the dreaded COMPOSITE SYNC pin 8:) and was electronically revised
and enhanced to support the heavier duty they got from Amiga users 8:D
Kiss you all.
