I have this vga card in a box somewhere and from what I read there it seems to be better than what I have now.
There are a few remaining questions though.

1) Could a VGA and monochrome monitor can be attached at the same time?
2) It says MDA, would this card support the monochrome graphics mode?

I know two monitors could not be used at the same time with this card but I wouldn't want anything to be damaged.
Still sort of interested screwing around with monochrome graphics :D
 
That is great news, though I wonder if I can move the switches so the monitor can be switched more easily than having to mess around at the back.
What should the video interrupt setting be?

Also, it looks like I posted this topic in the wrong place :/

[Edit]
I think I read somewhere you can have a monochrome graphics card and a vga card installed at the same time?
If this is true, would it be possible to have the mono card in graphics mode and text on the vga card?

Uh oh, I cannot seem to get the hercules graphics mode working.
I setup win 3.1 to the hercules driver just for a quick test and it does nothing.

The DOS screen remains though I can exit windows with ALT+F+X and return control to DOS normally.
Any ideas?
 
I think the Mono mode is MDA, not Hercules. Speaking of Herc, I need to test my Herc card to see if its still working incase I find another XT or decide to trade it for something.
