To convince the Macintosh IIci built-in video (or new Mac II video cards) that
an AppleColor RGB or High-Res Mono monitor or compatible monitor is attached,
ground pin 4 of the video connector.  The IIci BIV and new video cards use ID
lines to identify monitor types.

A NEC MultiSync II should work fine if you ground pin 4.
