I don't know if the >pure analog monitors (i.e. NEC 2A) can do Hercules. I am also using an ATI VGA Wonder (512K), attached to a Seiko CM1430 analog multisync monitor. They work very well together (the card's setup program even has an entry for the Seiko in its monitor-selection menu!) The Seiko can handle anything the VGA Wonder puts out with the single exception of the 132-column text modes. (I.e. it can handle 800x600 and 1024x768). The Seiko is currently available for $519 from a place called Computer Mail Order. Note that I have no connection with CMO other than being a very satisfied customer. -- James W.
