I think that machine has EISA and hence ISA bus.  You may be able to stick a 
ISA vga card in it.  It will not work with the ARC BIOS, but may work after 
the machine boots into Linux.  I have not heard of anyone doing this though.

At one point that machine ran Linux, but I have a feeling no one is currently 
running it, and hence some of the code has bit rot.
