Wow.  That baby is about 7 years old.  Did you just buy the monitor?
No boards?  Wanna buy a set of boards?  :-)

The boards put out 1024x800 (yes, 800, not 768) noninterlaced, at
I *think* 67 Hz (or so?)  Can't remember details.  You night want to try
asking relyea@ibmpa.awdpa.ibm.bom or selinger@mips.com.  Relyea 
fiddles with this stuff a lot and is still at IBM.  Selinger designed
the thing in the first place (but hoo boy was that a long itme ago)-
both of them are named Bob.

I've never heard of successful use of that monitor on any boardset 
except maybe an IBM 6155 (with mods).
