The video card is a standard ISA VGA card that should work in any machine.
I have used mine in conjunction with a Western Digital 8514/A adapter
using the pass-through edge connector.

The monitor will work with any standard VGA card, but not SVGA, since 
it can only display 640x480 max. resolution.  I have used the monitor with
a basic Paradise (i.e., Western Digital) VGA card.
