   Unlikely.  zx2000 requires a plugin graphics adapter.  Typically
this would be an AGP card in slot 2.  All the AGP cards available
with the system should have a standard 15 pin VGA connector and/or
a DVI connector.  If your graphics card only has DVI connectors,
you can get DVI to VGA converter cables.  These usually come with
the card.  AFAIK, EVC is/was only used on parisc hardware.
