You said 'any PC'. OK, I will read 'PC' to mean 'IBM PC compatible
computer'. thus rulling out things like LGP-30s, PDP8s, etc. You did not,
however, specify a video card. I therefore assumed that any PC-compatible
video card would work, and the original IBM MDA card is one such.
In other words, a 5150 with an MDA card is a member of the set of 'any PCs'

I'd love to konw how they get colour and
grapghics out of an MDA card in
an original 5150 PC. You did say 'any PC' after all :-)
Ehm, well, if I had been correct, I wouldn't have said 'PC', since a
LGP-30 is a 'PC', too, by the terms of its time ;-))
But IBM PC does not say anything about a specific graphics card.
