Some great detective work you've done! Please share the results of your testing. I'd be really interested to hear what you find.

I don't know if Commodore made a CGA monitor, but you would definitely think they did.
Commodore sold many monitors, such as the 1084 series, which were compatible with composite video, luma/chroma video, digital RGB, and analog RGB. The Commodore 128's digital RGB output used the same pinout and specs as CGA, so if you need the appropriate video cable to use a Commodore monitor with a PC with CGA, just look for a C128 cable.

well, I do have a Commodore 1084S monitor here. I just assumed it was incompatible. would this cable work to connect them? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-1...861?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b234164d
Ditto. My 1084S had two different style round connectors... one for digital RGBI (which is what you want) and one for analog RGB (for Amiga).
It should also have a cinch/RCA input for composite. Which is also what you want for 16-colour mode CGA.
yeah. I got it working with a composite cable. okay so ive never messed with CGA composite so this is what I gather. CGA composite is a bit more blurry but by using dithering it can make games that support it look almost like EGA where if I went with the strait digital CGA I would only get the 4 colors on screen at once but the image would be sharper?
do I need to do something other then copy the files from the DOS floppy to the hard drive?
can the EDIT command be transplanted to an earlier version?

no luck. I'm using a 32MB CF card as a hard drive as every other traditional hard drive I have is to big. everything looked to work and I got a "system transfered" message. copied all the files over but it still refuses to boot from the hard drive. if I boot from the floppy I can access and read/write to the hard disk with no issues, size also comes up correctly but the system will not boot from it.
