That model monitor is what is called a "fixed frequency" monitor. Do a
search on www.google.com and look for the FAQ. Some of the big 20" Sun/Sony
monitors will work with just an adaptor, most notably the GDM-20E20. Most
Sun monitors will not work with a PeeCee.

Yes and no, it will not be easy, You can use it with an adaptor <~$30US> if
your video card supports sync-on-green. however you will not be able to veiw
DOS windows, or the text based startup of windows. Or, you can purchase a
fixed frequency video card, there are several manufacturers out there,
prices start at $120.00. You will still need the adaptor this way.

>3.  how can i configure this monitor?
