The database lists it as a Multisync, no number. Common sense says it is
the monitor before the II. It is listed with the 9-pin connector but also
a horizontal frequency of approx 31kHz and 640x480 only and no higher.
VGA is a certainty, TTL is probable, but the question is whether it can
do the low or near VGA of approx 600x200. Perhaps the monitor
database (which I pointed out as incomplete) is wrong.

Either model will be sufficient for the original poster who just wanted
VGA. However I will stick by my recommendation that every person
collecting old computers should have a couple Multisync IIs sitting
around because they are capable of handling a wide range of signals.
No composite though, which would have made a nice clean sweep.
