Summary: 


I also own an Everex Graphics Edge card and am quite happy with it.  I use it
with a Princeton MAX-12E Monitor.  I am able to run CGA software and Hercules
software, both on a monochrome screen.  However, the results would be less 
acceptable if I did not have a Princeton Monitor.

Although the Everex is
capable of emulating color software on a monochrome screen it does so by 
doulbing the CGA resolution of 320x200 to 640x400.  On a 748x348 monochrome 
screen this mean the picture is narrower than usual and you loose the top 50
 pixels.  The Princeton can change scan rates to display color software in 
monochrome.  So the trick is to switch between hercules graphics on a monochrome screen and color graphics on a monitor that looks color.  Its that simple.

 What do other Everex owners, who don't have switchable monitors Do?
