Check out http://www.nashville.net/~griffin/video.html .

I've been trying to hook up my 14 RGB Apple Monitor (trinitron tube) to
a PC and I've discovered the following.

1> The RGB mac monitor requires some special composite sync signal (too
technical for me)

2> The RGB monitor is fixed frequency and requires ~35kHz Horizontal
frequency which translates to 640x480 @66.7 Hz Vertical normally.  

Through Griffin Tech, I was able to get the necessary adapters.
Unfortunately, my video card does not provide a means of getting 640x480
@67 Hz and I don't know of any that will (if anyones knows of one please
respond).  I was able to get it working at 800x600 @56Hz Vertical Freq.
However the flickering got to me so I had to abandon this endeavor.  

Bottom line, if you have an apple multisynch, I think it's just a matter
of getting an adaptor, if you have a fixed freq monitor, it's going to
be tough.

Talk to Griffin Tech.  They're quite knowledgeable and helpful.
