That would be the Apple Basic Color Monitor, which I got with my IIvx
long long ago... Makes it easy to hook up to a PC. Every other Apple
monitor I've seen has had a regular 15-pin. FWIW, they are all indeed
VGA monitors. The adaptors for plugging a PC monitor into a Mac or a
Mac monitor into a PC were fairly common back then, and should still
be available if you look around.
