I tried one, but it was quite awful.  It was crooked, not evenly focused,
and a sick color.  I returned and bought an Amdek VIDEO-300A instead.  It
is more expensive, but it is much better.  Also, the phosphor is more
persistent, so you get virtually no flicker in interlace (with my eyes
anyway).

Physically, you can just plug both in at the same time.  Electronically, I
don't know.  I'm sure one of the more hardware-inclined types has something
to say about this matter.  I can say that I've done it on a 2000 for a while
with no apparent ill effects.
