A local dealer kindly provided me with the manual for the NEC Multisync. It provides a detailed pin assignment and advice for use with non-IBM drivers. The information seems pretty clear on hooking one up to a Mac II, although, according to Apple's shipment desk, if a developer hasn't received one yet, the next batch is a month away.

I've also heard that the Sony Multiscan (essentially the Apple monitor) works well, is available now, and is cheap ($550 through mail-order). No independent confirmation, though. -- Joel West {ucbvax,ihnp4}!sdcsvax!jww (ihnp4!gould9!joel if I ever fix news) jww@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu if you must
