I'd like to add that for Tseng 4000 cards, there is a program at cica, which
lets you switch the VGA to 16- or 8-bit mode despite the HGC being in the
system. The Hercules will show garbage when it is addressed and the VGA is 16
bits. I am using this tool with a Diamond Speedstar 24 and it works great.
I have to do a 'mode co80' or 'mode mono' after changing the mode, however.

The exact location:
setbus.zip      911230  Speed up Tseng-based video cards with dual monitors
in pub/pc/win3/drivers/video at ftp.cica.indiana.edu [129.79.20.84]
