	The short answer is no. Apple display cards generate analog
        video levels. The sun 3 display is an ECL level video, 66hz
        vertical 67Khz horizontal scan rate display. If you can find
        one, a Moniterm Viking One 1280 * 960 card may work. I've used
        a Mac Viking One monitor on a Sun once, in a pinch, with a 
        tweek to the horz sweep rate. I have no idea if there are extra
        signals needed, though, for the Moniterm card.
