Re: Hercules Graphics Programming

["Julian Herrera" <julian_herrera76@hotmail.com>]

Im glad it was useful for someone. I havent had the time to play with the 
Hercules Graphics Card but it looks like it should be possible to make 
strange text modes like 81x40 or something like that. If you can I would 
appreciate if you send me the register values used.
