If so how? I'm trying to find a way to get some EGA games to work with my monochrome monitor. By the way, I'm using a Everex EV-659 EGA card. Yes it is possible. The bad news is, the EGA monochrome mode is a separate mode from the EGA color modes, and hardly any programs support it. That's why most EGA cards have also a Hercules-like mode. -- /* * * Otto J.
