Odd, according to the monitor database at Griffin 
(http://www.nashville.net/~griffin/monitors/Ikega08.html) it is a fixed 
frequency trinitron with 5-BNC connectors. 

They reckon it will need a Macsynch connector, but this may depend on your 
motherboard. I needed one to run a 5-BNC workstatiopn monitor from my 4400 
as the on-board video doesn't do composite synch above 640x480. This may 
not be a problem in your case as apparently the monitor has a synch 
selector switch. 

In any case, you _will_ be able to amke it work, but it might cost you a 
�20 adapter.
