That's funny ... every Herc clone I've seen in computer stores in Silicon Valley had the nice high-res IBM-style character set (including the Zuckerboard I bought). Maybe you were looking at one of those fancy-dancy boards that emulates the CGA on a TTL monochrome monitor, and it happened to be in CGA mode (the Everex Edge is one such beast). I'm sure that in Herc mode all would be fine. -- Mark Alexander ...{hplabs,seismo,sun,ihnp4}!amdahl!drivax!alexande "Bob-ism: the Faith that changes to meet YOUR needs." -- Bob
