Thanks for all the replies.

Seems I would need a converter to make it work. Personally it's more effort & expense than it is worth right now!

liam - I think that Joe is wrong - you don't need a converter. DVI to VGA converter blocks are all over the place and perform the conversion. There's one on the monitor I'm using right now. VGA to DVI to HDMI WILL go.
