GeForce2 MX/MX400 -- is it possible to connect two monitors?

I have the graphics card nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX400 card on my PC. I'm running
Windows XP Home. The PC is currently connected to an LCD monitor (Envision
17" EN-7100s). My previous monitor is sitting idle (ViewSonic 19" CRT
GS790). I understand that this graphics card is capable of supporting two
monitors. The manual that came with the graphics card says "TwinView allows
you to connect two separate output devices to a single graphics card and
view them simultaneously." However, there is a note following this which
says "This function is only available for the GeForce2 MX cards with dual
video output connectors." The LCD video cable is currently connected to the
PC and I don't see a separate place to connect a second video cable of the
type on the other monitor. There is a second connector but it is a round
socket which I think is a TV output. Am I out of luck in trying to connect
two monitors? or is there some kind of adapter I could use on the second
connector?
