I'm interested in number 2. Where can I get a sufficiently detailed
description of the Hercules interface to do the same? I bought a
Leading Edge model 'D' ,which uses a herc-cloned mono interface but
comes with no technical info about it.
Do you read and write to the hardware directly or does the Phoenix
BIOS support a herc interface? The regular IBM BIOS does not.
Thank you in advance.
