There were two different extentions or control panels that would increase the output resolution of a small number of Apple made NuBus videocards. Neither worked with the built in video on any Mac. Still wouldn't boost the 12" RGB to 640x480. There is a hardware hack to convert the 12" to 640x480. It involves altering the scanning frequencies and either cutting off the cable connector and attaching a new one or making an adapter to connect the correct sense pins so it's seen as a 13" monitor by the Macintosh. Quite a bit of effort just to have 640x480 on the only monitor that fits perfectly with the lines of the LC pizzaboxes and the IIsi. It will be total Fandemonium, Summer 2005!
