Hi, I have a couple of these cards and they are rock solid, you can use all the ECS modes with it too but it's limited if used in an AGA machine because it's not 24-bit.  Anyway, you should be able to find pretty easily a CGA-to-VGA adapter on eBay or at a local computer shop.  The Microway has a female DB-9 plug so you may need a gender converter along with the cable.  I use a regular DB-9 serial adapter for that.  Good luck and nice find with that A2000.  I once bought a supposedly 'dead' A2000 and it had one of these cards in it.  A bit beat-up looking but worked fine, as did the A2000 btw (strangely the Gary chip was installed backwards??).

The manual is on here (http://amiga.resource.cx/) and includes pinouts, so you should be able to make a cable.
