I have a little Commodore PC-10 Series II which has a Commodore AGA (Advanced
Graphics Adapter) card in it.  I have some programs which need Hercules mode,
and some which require CGA, but are too slow with a CGA simulator.

I know it is possible to switch between modes through software, but Commodore
claims it is impossible.   How do I know?  Commodore includes a program called
VSET with the machine which changes modes!  Unfortunately, I brought mine
second-hand and so I didn't get this program and Commodore won't give or sell
me a copy!

Does anyone know how to switch the modes without VSET?

Thanks!
