I've posted this once before, however our news server has had
a lot of problems this past week so I don't know whether anyone
has posted a reply or whether my post even made it out the
door. So here it is again...

I've compiled Abrash's ModeX code which I downloaded from the net
and it works fine on the several machines I've tried it on except one.
This one machine is different from the rest in that it is connected
to a monochrome monitor ( Hercules VGA card ). The symptoms are
a screen full of wavey lines and a high pitched humming sound
from the monitor as soon as it goes into Mode X.

If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening, I would
appreciate any help. Please email me directly at

flongo@bank.citib.com

Thanks,
Frank Longo
