  I just bought a graphics/printer card which was said
to be a monochrome card. The printer part works fine. The graphics is
another story. I can read text on my mono monitor, but it is repeated
three times. I can make out graphics stuff but it is not good at all.

  Other Hercules compatible cards I've used had a 32 Mhz crystal. This card
has none, or rather, it has no obvious metal crystal can.

  This card also has one jumper to enable or disable the printer port.
It has 4 other jumpers set to "1011".

  The card is labelled, "CGP-1", and has the letters "JCC" as an apparent
logo. Might this card be CGA? Is there any sure-fire way to tell by looking
at it when you do not have a CGA monitor? What might the 4 jumpers be for?

  Any info welcome.

  Thanks.
