  I am looking into adding a monochrome graphics board into my system.
  It would be nice if it were Hercules compatible, so at present the
  best possibilities seem to be Hercules and AST.  Does anyone know
  anything about the AST?  I haven't seen reviews or anything, but it
  is supposedly out there.  AST seems like a heads-up company, so this
  board looks pretty good.  The extra serial port will come in handy.
  The Hercules is OK, but we have one at work and it has a little bit
  of flicker - a nuisance, but nothing serious.  My main reason for
  getting the AST is the reputation of the company and the extra port.
  Anyone with any special praise/flames for other Monochrome graphics
  cards, send 'em on in.  

  Thanx ........
