   I am contemplating getting a monchrome monitor and card to supplement my
   VGA card and monitor for use with Turbo Debugger....anyone have any 
   experience doing so?  Is it worth the expense?  Thanks.

Yes, it should only cost you $100.  But be aware that putting an 8-bit
card into the same double-segment (B000->CFFF) as a 16-bit card will cause
the 16-bit card to be accessed 8 bits at a time.  In other words, your
16-bit VGA will act like an 8-bit VGA.
