[comp.sys.ibm.pc] NEED REFERENCE /BOOKS - HERCULES

gperkins@cdp.UUCP (03/13/90)

Does anyone know of a good reference for Hercules graphics?
I need to write some software for it and don't want to re-invent the
wheel. Is Hercules still around?

There is a good book around whose title is something like:

Programming the Hercules Graphics CArd

and the author's name is DAvid Doty.

It has quite a lot of information about the history of and programming
of the various versions of the Hercules Graphics Card. If you really
want to know how to use the sucker it is worth the few bucks.


Enjoy!
