The problem is that the Apple monitor uses analog RGB, while a EGA card
produces digital (TTL) signals that require a digital RGB monitor.

You could use your Apple monitor if you got a VGA card, I think.  VGA
produces analog signals like the //gs...better check and make sure the
monitor will accept the sync frequency of the VGA card.  (This is why
the so called "multisync" monitors are around.  They can handle a wide
range of frequencies.)

Getting VGA if it will work is almost certainly your best bet; you'll
get better graphics for the pc without having to pay for another monitor
or something like that.
