You can also hook up the (composite) video port of an Apple II(gs) to
the (composite) video input
port of some Powermacs, like the 7500/7600 and other AV Macs.

Then you get the II's monitor output on the Powermac's monitor using
Apple Video Player. 

Just use a 1:1 cinch cable. It works, although far better in mono than
color, which is blurry.

Anyway, it saves a monitor, in a pinch.
