Michal/Pieter:

Did either of you ever obtain an XF86Config for the old Hercules
Monochrome Cards?  I am also looking for the same information and neither
XFree86 3.3.1's xf86config nor Red Hat's Xconfigurator include this card
in their databases.  Although XFree86 3.3.1's README does mention this
support was reintroduced into this Distribution (following a bug fix)!

TIA
