Subject: using PGA display with VGA adapter: is it feasible?

i have an IBM "Professional Graphics Display" which works with their
PGA adapter (the PGA adapter has capabilities similar to VGA, but it
never became popular, apparently due to its cost <at the time>).  i'm
interested to know if the display can be used with a VGA adapter.

so far, i've heard "definitely," "maybe," and "no."  i'm interested in
hearing from people who have first-hand experience with this.

cheers,
