How does the Apple 8.24 video board know what sort of monitor
it is connected to ? Presumably it's something to do with the
way the cable is wired ? I'd like to persuade my 8.24 board to
drive a 75 Hz monitor if possible.

Incidentally, I notice that option-clicking the options button
in the Monitors cdev gives a scrolling list of possible monitors
that the card could be connected to. However there's only one
entry in this list, "Apple Hi-Res Monitor" - is it possible to
install other entries into this list, I wonder ?...
