We've never gotten that combination of video adapters to work.  You want a
genuine Monochrome Data Adapter, with NO graphics capabilities.  A Hercules
card will not work, unless of course its a Hercules Text Card, which is what
we use here.  You can find MDA cards advertised in Computer Shopper for
about $6.00.  Yep, six dollars.  These babies are getting rare, so buy a
couple for your friends!
