But it could be is the video "driver" could speak to the CNMA monitor (via
parallel port in your example) or via the mythical PCI vector card that
could output XY and Z/RGB signals to more standard vector monitors.

The vector card is mighty high on my holy grail list (wish I had the
digital/analog skills to even approach this one)
