The pinouts, sense-pin configuration, and data characteristics are listed
below. After determining the pinouts of the monitor to which you plan to
connect the video card, you can check the pinouts of Apple cables (posted on
AppleLink) or third-party cables to see if one will work or if one must be
made.
The Macintosh Display Card 8/24GC supports any display that meets one of the
following specifications:

Note that sense pins 4, 7, and 10 are referred to as SENSE0, SENSE1, and SENSE2
in pinout tables for the video connectors.
None of the RasterOps or SuperMac 19-inch displays meets the above
specifications. Based on this, we do not think that they will work properly.
