On VGA monochrome, just fine.  Both display and adapter should cost
about $100.  Stay away from TTL monochrome (e.g. Hercules), though.

OS/2 2.x comes with two color schemes for VGA monochrome (or for
monochrome notebooks, for example).  Go to OS/2 System -> System Setup
-> Scheme Palette, hold down the ALT key, and drag either one to the
desktop after you've installed.

Cornerstone makes one, I believe, as does IBM.  I would opt for the
VGA monochrome, though, and save your pennies for the large, color
display when you can afford it.
