I don't know about an EGA, but I had a Paradise dual graphics card working in
mine when I had an H151.  It could be switched between CGA mode and Hercules 
mode.
Probably the only thing to worry about with the EGA is whether your hard
disk rom clashed with the EGA memory space.  As I recall the rom was at 
a wierd dip-switch setable location - EGA space is in the 64K at $A000 I
believe.
