	I own a GENUINE Hercules Color Graphics Adapter

	( no clones here!...... huh? Isn't the HCGA a clone? :-> )


	The ONLY incompatibility I have ever found is a game called :

		Lode Runner  from "Broderbund" (c)*

	I've seen it function on a "all standard" IBM but it doesn't
	work properly on my IBM w/ HCGA.

	I'm not positive that it is the HCGA, I do have an AST-6-pack,
	however, but somehow it doesn't seem to me that that could be
	the cause ....  SO how `bout it Broderbund?


	Since more people write software to be HCGA compatible it is
	probably a good bet to go with one rather than pay IBM's price
	even if the HCGA is more expensive than the clones of it.


	"Broderbund" is a trademark of ( you guessed it ) ....
