Well, you don't mention how much ram you have, and I would reccommend at least 4
megabytes of memory, though techicaly only 2 is required.   Also, OS/2 does not
run on a Hercules Mono Card as it's only graphics adapter.  You would ned to 
at least go out and buy some other graphics card.  I usually reccommend an 
inexpensive VGA card and a GreyScale VGA monitor to the cost consious.  This 
combination can be had for well under $300.

available, or what the costs would be.
