You could probably use it with a standard VGA monitor. If not, the adapter is around $15.

I'm checking the tech docs now.

OK, it's an ATI Mach 64 card aka. 88800

Standard VGA out it appears...fuggin old as hell though.

All Apples before the blue G3 used the wide Mac connector, and an adaptor is required, unless it's a 3rd party vid card!

It is a third party card. ATI Mach 64. All of the 9500s came with third party cards in fact...

Wow, sweet deal.

9500's were major workhorses, esp in the music industry.

You can now get an 800MHz upgrade for the processor, but it'll be expensive.

Mostly for recording artists with lots of expensive audio cards already filling up their Macs.

Either way, you can install OS X on it too, if you want:
