I have a 1Mb EVGA adapter and I tried to plug in an old  Hercules monochrome
graphics card as well to serve as a second monitor for debugging.  This
did not work, but my machine completely failed to boot, screen stayed blank,
it did not even access the floppy.

According to EVGA docs it should co-exist with a monochrome adapter.  I had
no monitor attached to the Hercules Card, EVGA has a Citizen 14i cm multisync
hooked to it.  I have no doc's for the Hercules card - it's half size 8 bit 
card with a parallel printer port on it, only one jumper whose function
is unknown to me.

If anybody has a working 2 monitor configuration with ET4000 based card I'd
like to hear about it.  

Just occurred to me: does it matter what the motherboard is? Mine is 386/33 
with June -90 AMI bios.
