hercules vlb a couple of months ago i tried out a hercules graphite card a pretty nice board fairly fast and seemed quite compatible even seemed to handle the svga modes i have whined about here on occasion at the time i was just buying a vlb system so after checking out the card i sent it back i wanted a vlb card and purchased a fahrenheit vlb card this card is fairly fast will do hz refresh at x but is not compatible with my cd roms the svga thing i think i have merely conjectured that is the cause of an old graphics board being able to run in a higher resolution with those programs than the modern boards i have tried i have not gotten a straight answer out of anybody the monitor i am using it with is a magnavox which also tops out at x x hz so its really a pretty good match but that is for my wife i just purchased a viewsonic for myself and am looking for a graphics card to drive it i want hz refresh and would really like it to handle my cd roms i tried the orchid p which did neither of those things though robert at wietek did say that the hz was possible if i modifed the driver data base so my thoughts go back to hercules they were supposed to be coming out with a vlb version of the graphite around the end of march i have heard precisely zero about it since then does anyone know if the card was actually released and what capabilities and price it has any info would be most appreciated geoff sherwood
