I want to hook it to my RasterOps board on my MacII B-) B-).

Somehow it wants a crazy monitor that will do 60hz vertical and 45khz
horizontal and I don't want to shell out $3500 for the obviously nice
but too-much-money Sony monitor that they sell for it...

I am asking these questions here because Princeton only markets the
Max-15 monochrome monitor in msdos machine journals...

Sorry to correct you on the model number.  I thought that maybe they
came out with an extended version of the 8507 and called it an 8517 B-).
