Huh? Plug monitor A into DVI-D... Plug monitor B into DVI-I.
The monitors only have vga and hdmi inputs.
I'm pretty sure I've found the answer, dvi-d cannot convert to vga, even though multiple sites say it can as long as the monitor is "digital", not crt. So the answer is to just use the hdmi for the second output.
eta: Or use a dvi-d to hdmi cable.

Whichever adapter is cheaper.
EDIT: DVI-D to VGA would require an active adapter (i.e. outside power source to convert the signal from digital to analog), so probably not worth the trouble/cost.
