Look, if you want an IBM clone, buy an IBM clone.  If you want a UNIX
workstation, buy a 3b1/7300.  I have a DOS board, and it's useful for
insuring that a program compiles under dos, but that's about it.
(Anyway, the card is real hercules compatible, not "write to screen
memory" hercules compatible, so you can only use text oriented material.)
