If this is the original NEC Multisync it will do anything from MDA to SVGA
800 X 600.
The connector is a 9 pin MDA/CGA/EGA type but there is a digital/analogue
switch that will allow VGA and SVGA if set that way.

To use as a VGA you need an adaptor cable known as a "Multisync" cable which
is 9 pin F to 15 pin F. Readily available and about $5 around here.

I used to keep a bunch of different monitors around until I found what these
can do. Another benefit is that they are usually very cheap because most
people think they are only EGA.
