Like most modern PCs, mine has an S-Video TV-OUT video output. I
enabled it in the BIOS, connected an S-Video to RCA Video converter,

I know the monitor works well because I use it with my Apple II.
Funny you should mention that...
My PC runs Linux. I have an ATI 7000. Also has S-Video out. I'm not
able to drive a colour composite monitor or a green composite monitor.
However (this is the cool part) I can plug it into a VCR. From there I can
plug the VCR into a composite monitor and it works.
The Radeon 7000 in my beige G3 has a composite output on it (don't recall
offhand if it also does S-video or if it's just composite). Just for sh*ts
and grins, I plugged my IIe's green-screen into it.
I should've taken a picture. Mac OS X booting up through a Monitor II is
just sick. :-) It was surprisingly legible, though.
