There were five responses. Some success was reported with a no-longer-in
manufacture NEC MultiSync 5D. Another person reported luck with a EIZO
Flexscan F550i-MW, which appears to be an alternate name for a Nanao. One
person reported second-hand knowledge of the Nanao. Details follow as are
appropriate. Many thanks to:

Scherpbier and Martin both reported using the NEC MultiSync 5D on
a Sun with GX boards. Unfortunately this monitor is no longer being
manufactured.
