I checked, and it is the same monitor. The monitors&sound control panel (OS8.1) on my
6100 only has one possibility : 832x624, 75Hz.
I'm not using any special control panels or software, just the generic system ones.
It probably works because the computer thinks it's a standard VGA monitor at 832x624.
If this is the solution to the problem, you could fool your computer into thinking
this by building a DB15 to DB15 adapter, with the sense pins at the male end wired for
the appropriate VGA monitor.
I've checked the pin codes at <http://www.loten-am-mac.yucom.be/sense.htm>, but the
only mono-sync monitor at 832x624 is a 16" one. It has pins 10 and 4 interconnected,
and pin 7 free.
This will prevent you to switch to other resolutions, however.
This way, you should be able to use the monitor at 832x624 on any vintage mac. (See,
we're on topic.)
