Keywords:XT clone; monochrome display; help

All right, Net Tech gurus, I need your assistance again...

Situation: 
	Replaced an original PC-XT motherboard with cheap
XT-clone (V20 cpu; 1mb ram; cheap support chips - no C&T)
(brand name = unique Turbo UX 12Mhz)
	Board runs but does not seem to support the original 
baby blue monochrome card / monitor.  Runs OK with a Hercules
color card and cheap composite monitor.  The mono board / monitor
run OK in another (original) PC (they seemed not to be the cause of
my original problem - no access above 192K by p.o.s.t.).  

Questions:
		Are there known compatibility problems between 
these items that I should be aware of?
	Should I return the moth board?
		What's a decent monitor I could use in place of the 
original mono combo(using the Herc card)? (the prof I'm helping out
wants better resolution at minimal cost; this system is used for 
manual entry of long protein and other sequences by lab slaves).

Any and all help is appreciated.  Email is the preferred response
as I don't have much time for this group after all the other 
groups get read (such as c.s.amiga -- gotta keep my personal 
antique up and running!)
