   Apparently it'll work only if you have the original Mac Nubus
(slow, similar to older PC ISA cards, before Apple got out of a dead
end and adopted PCI) hires display card, and then it'll be an
interlaced (*puke*) display.  The GS monitor is hard set to work at a
15Khz horizontal sync signal, which is way below what any modern PC,
Mac, or unix card spits out.

   With old macs appearing for cheap in thrift stores or Macintosh
usenet groups like comp.sys.mac.*, you may be able to find a old Mac
monitor for a Mac easier than this display card, should your mac even
have Nubus slots.
