I use a 12MHz 0 wait clone with EGA, but recently used a 12MHz 0 wait
that had a Herc-compatible mono display. The MONO machine seems FASTER
than the EGA machine when writing to the screen ("dir" was used for
comparison). The difference isn't that noticable, sort of like the
difference between a terminal at 9600 baud and one at 19200 baud.
The BIOS is the same for both machines. DOes anyone have an
explanation? Are EGA boards slightly slower than MONO boards?
I might add that with other sofware, there is no noticeable
difference. Generic DOS functions are where I noticed the difference.
