My SuperVGA adapter can emulate the Hercules MonoGraphics board in hardware, and even works with a generic mouse in this mode (720x348x2), but I have a friend with a standard IBM VGA card in a PS/2, who would like to be able to run several Hercules-only or Hercules-preferred programs on his system. I know there are several programs which can simulate CGA quite effectively on a Hercules card, but is there any program which can simulate Hercules on a VGA?? It seems that the principle would be the same - reprogram the VGA controller for 720x348 or as close as your monitor can handle, and then (somehow) intercept graphics calls and writes and remap them appropriately. I wouldn't know where to begin writing such a program. Can anyone, or does anyone already have such? Thanks, Kevin Martin sigma@pawl.rpi.edu
