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).

We use the AED displays with 6155 adapters.  A minor hardware change had to
be made to make this work; I don't know what it was (new cables?).

I used to have an AED display connected to my workstation.  The IBM
diagnostics called it a "hardware problem" and refused to run until I took
out the adapter.  (There's a flaw in the RT diagnostics -- they assume at
most one thing is wrong and stop when they find it.)

I have directions to modify an AED display to work with an IBM 6155 card.
It does not require any special tools and uses off the shelf parts.  The
estimated cost is $150.00.

According to the directions mentioned previously.  The pins are named as follows:

Pin   Name
---   ----
 4    Vertical Sync
 8    Vertical Sync Return
 3    Horizontal Sync
 7    Horizontal Sync Return
 1    Video
 6    Video Return
