8-bit video cards in new systems? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

5 Jul 1998

Works fine. You can even run a mono/herc card in the same machine with a
color display adapter (CGA/EGA/VGA). Just use the mode command to switch
between them in DOS, forget what to use in Linux.

Type "mode mono" display switches to the mono monitor
Type "mode co80" and the display switches to 80x25 color mode on the VGA.

 this is newer, but i have several 8bit vid cards and
assorted mono/cga
etc type monitors. can i plug in one of those cards in a modernish
system and realistically use it for a display? just need dos & linux
term capabilities, but I'm not sure whether or not the system will like
that, etc. any input here would be very helpful. thanks!
