   You can use it after adding a 'Second Sight' VGA board, but most to
all programs will only be able to use Apple II modes mirrored to it--
very few programs support the VGA modes. You may find it cheaper to
find a monochrome composite monitor and just connect that.

   You can find more info on this and Sequential System's (maker
of the second sight) address in the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) at http://www/visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html,
sections 4.3 and 10.2
