[... problems with Herc and CGA cards ...]

The Hercules card and the CGA card can exist together only if the Hercules
card is NEVER used in graphics mode.  The graphics address of the Hercules
card end up in the CGA addresssing area.  The program that is run to put
the Hercules card into mono mode only is HGC HALF.

You MUST remove the CGA card before Hercules graphics mode is used.

Sorry to give you the bad news, but that is the way it is.
