When I made the order on the SB/MCA, the woman at the Brown Wagh Publishing said the price for CMS chips is $30 extra. So could someone clear this thing up ? I can't afford many international calls:-) And, what's the GameBlaster all about ? I've always thought that the CMS chips were for stereo sounds. BTW, will the Windows driver for Hercules Graphics Station Card/MCA support 640x480x16-bit or 512x480x24-bit color with the standard 1MB VRAM/1MB DRAM ? I really can't afford a new graphics card AND a new hi-rez monitor now :-) AND, is it possible to program the card directly from DOS with Turbo C or Pascal ?
