Which monitor?

I use a 20" Multiple Scan with a PC. If it's like that one, you'll need a converter which you should be about to get for around 20 Euros. (I don't know where to get it in Europe - I live in Canada.) I've seen them under 10 Euros locally actually.

BTW, even though in its day it was an excellent monitor, by today's standards it's pretty mediocre.

P.S. Wrong forum.

Sure thing the B&W G3 and the G4 prior to the ADC all had VGA and they shipped with a Apple monitor adaptors. So ask around if any owners of such computers have some collecting dust
