I've seen cards that could do both CGA and HGC,

They had DIP switches as you are describing.
As for some software requireing a switch to be flipped - maybe it also
has a way of emulating CGA via HGC, or something.
This is possible, as the software I had to flip a switch to run (GeoWorks
Ensemble setup) seems to assume I'm using CGA.
I'll have to put a system information-type program on there to see if it
reports different display cards with different switch settings.
