I think it was at KFest '01 that I had taken both my PC and my IIgs
but there wasn't enough room on the desk for all the equipment my
roommate and I had brought so I didn't have room to have both my
machines set up properly.  As I had an ATI All-in-Wonder-128 card in
my PC, I used the composite input on my PC to display the output from
my IIgs and stuck the IIgs in a corner out of the way.  I too didn't
have much luck with colour output but switching the IIgs to monochrome
mode made it useable.
