WRONG ANSWERS GUYS.

According to the Hercules Manula on my desk the Herc graphics card
can coexist with the color card. You do not have to remove it
to use the other. Page 1-5 says

"The Hlaf configuration makes the first graphics page located at B0000-B7FFF
accessible to graphics software. The second graphics page located
at B8000-BFFFF is suppressed allowing the presence of other video cards
provided that their screen buffer does not occupy any portion of the 
first graphics page. (This configuration allows the the presence of an
IBM Colour Card in the system at the same time as the Hercules Graphics Card.)
"
HGC DIAG is a mono text only mode.

I will know more real soon cause I am about to buy a Herc Graphics Card
to co-exist with my Herc Color card.
