I hope I'm not asking this in vain. I'm looking for a CGA emulation package,
preferably Public Domain, that will work with a EGA card set in Monochrome
mode. Unfortunately, I can't afford a EGA monitor at the time so my Amber
monochrome monitor will have to do. I've have heard of SIMCGA and HGCIBM
as posibilities. Unfortunately SIMCGA (version 4.0) will NOT work on an
EGA card period. I've used HGCIBM (version 2.02) which will work with my EGA
card but once HGCIBM is activated, it causes my 5 1/4" high density disk drive
to freak out on reading high density disks. I get a  "Error reading drive A" 
message. Amazingly, 5 1/4" DD disks work fine. 

Is there anything else available out there besides HGCIBM that will work with
an EGA card but not freak out high density disk drives? Unfortunately, a high
density drive is the only type of massive storage capacity I have at the 
moment. I'd apreciate any help in finding something that will work. Thanks
in advance!!

PS: If it matters, I have a Everex EGA card running on a 12 MHZ AT clone using
Phoenix 3.03 (???) Bios.
