There is some hassles with nonstandard Hercules clone cards (like mine, I never persuaded it to work), but under EGA & CGA it works like a dream. The code is good to base your own driver on, as I did here for various data display programs in the Dept. of Physiology. At the moment I'm engaged in writing a driver for a Data Translations ADC card so that I'll have some data to actually display. I had a prelimnary version which only worked with OR mode, so I added XOR mode to it as well, for crosshairs and the like. I expect he's got the full colour business working now in the hires 640*350 16 colour mode. It's good stuff, give it a try.
