CGA cards also use a 640x200 graphic mode, which is used by our hp200lx's.

Umm, are you sure? We used to run windows 3.0 on amber monochrome

I am also unsure.
Can someone with a clue speak up?
MDA is text only, Hercules is the mono graphics display

According to the IBM Tech Reference series of manuals, the Monochrome
Display Printer Adapter was character-only. It had a 2k character buffer
and a 2k attribute buffer so that each character could be assigned its own

Hi Shane.
9. Tandy 1000 range.
I think that the Tandy 1000 was a CGA+ mode, with the idea being
to provide 320x200x16 without a full EGA mode. So we have the
old 640x200 standby here, too.
Having had a Tandy 1000, I can safely say that whilst it did indeed
have a CGA+ mode that was

It's not that the monitors wouldn't work, but that the mono cards
The MDA was a text only adapter. The HGC was the first to implement
any dot addressable graphics with the mono hardware.
FWIW, they both used the same CRTC (as does the CGA), they just program
it differently. The 6842 I believe was the CRTC.

Granted, one could add drivers for specific hardware, and have the
kernel routine detect and use it in preference to the BIOS driver if
the relevant driver is present, but I wouldnae see such as a first
choice for getting a working video subsystem...
Yes, get it working

you mean the HGCA?

320x200 support doesn't really cut it.
