I received a price quote of $395 for a Sun 3/50 or 3/60 monochrome monitor
(new, not used, I think).  This is considerably lower than the price of a
comparable monitor for a PC.  I would like to use it on a PC if I can find
a video card to drive it.

1) Has anyone found an ISA bus (i.e., AT bus) video card, for use in a 386
   clone, that could drive a Sun monochrome monitor?
2) Does the card have drivers for Microsoft Windows 3.0?
3) Does it emulate any PC video standards such as CGA, Hercules...?
4) Where can I get a cable for it?
5) If not, do you have monitor specs such as scan frequency needed to
   locate such a card?
