Yes......I have just that setup. I have an AT Bridgeboard with a ATI VGA
Wonder Card with built in Microsoft Mouse port. However, I am told that
you should not switch between monitors while the system is powered up. It
could cause damage to the monitor or possible the VGA board an or CPU. I
have the NEC Multisync II monitor with this setup and am very pleased
with it.
