He's talking about the IBM mainframe emulator called Hercules, not
the Hercules Graphics Card.
That said, I'm pretty sure Linux supports the Hercules Graphics Card,
or at least I think it did in pre-1.0 kernels way back when.

The Hercules card itself is a very rudimentary driver and is essentially
the basis for much of the video card drivers adopted standards so you

you some problems above WinNT
