Is it possible to connect two VGA monitors to a GeForce 970?

Hey,

I have a pair of ancient ViewSonic VE710s that are still going strong (if a little bit filthy!). I recently purchased an MSI GeForce 970. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that unlike my existing 580 GTX, the 970 comes with one each of DVI-D and DVI-I ports instead of 2xDVI-I.

I picked up a cheap DVI-D/VGA adapter from our local hardware shop, but (unsurprisingly) it doesn't work. Actually, if I understand correctly, there's no way these things *can* work, no? Why do they get made?...

Anyway,

Is there any way I can connect my two existing VGA monitors to my GeForce 970? Or am I stuck with a single monitor setup like a caveman until some nice shiny new screens arrive?

The motherboard (if it's possibly relevant) is a ASUS® Z97-P. It has a VGA socket on it, but it doesn't appear to be active.
