Well, if you REALLY need the speed, the best you could hope for is to purchase
a 16-bit VGA card with 256K and see if it is hardware selectable to do a 
Hercules emulation.  A real basic VGA board, even by a name brand company,
can be had for under 100 dollars now.

Does that problem you describe occur if you plug the card in an 8-bit slot?
I don't know exactly what you are talking about with that problem since I
am not up too much on the ISA bus structure.
