For the hotrodders amongst us, I have a schematic for conversion from VGA
to RGB with sync on green. It was published in the German magazine Elektor,
july 2001. Not much hassle: some capacitors, a transistor and a small IC.
They presented it with 3x BNC conn. out, but I can redo the schematic for a
normal Mac video connector, if anyone's interested.

To me, it seems that the alternative for Mark is a Nubus Colour card. Both
mine can do multiscan. Is that common?
