    Yes. Griffin Technology (http://www.griffintechnology.com ) should have
    the cable/adapter set you need. I have an old PCPCII 19" monitor set up on
    my mac with one of their cables. It's the cable with the bnc cords, and an
    adapter plug with a pile of dip switches. Since you only have the three
    bnc plugs not 4 or 5, most likely it's a 'synch-on-green' monitor.

    They're a very helpful bunch. Highly reccomended.

    Allegedly Win98 and up will support multiple video cards better than it
    used to, though I've not tried. Hmmm...we _do_ have a few old video cards
    lying around at work...and I have missed having multiple monitors...
    might try it myself!
