HERCBIOS sounds interesting (I wonder what the speed is like?).

If anyone has more info, please post or mail!

Thank-you...

(P.S. General conclusions have been that HERC has no 43 line mode in
		hardware.  Lotus 1-2-3 etc. have been noted to use software to
		emulate (i.e. graphics).  I had used 43/50? lines on a ATI or
		similar multi-card in HERC mode! ... )
