8-bit ISA Monochrome Graphics Adapter from 1986: Hercules Graphics Card PlusHere is hard-to find monochrome card from late 1986. It is the well-known Hercules Graphics Card Plus, with 64KB of soldered-down 120 nanosecond DRAM. It uses the same 6845 CRT monitor controller as the original IBM monochrome adapter. Like the IBM monochrome adapter, it includes a parallel port. It displays high resolution text characters, but also displays 720 x 350 graphics. That 5-pin connector between the monitor and parallel ports is for a light pen (an almost forgotten precursor to the computer mouse).This 1986 card sold for $299 and was an upgrade from the original Hercules Graphics Card. This one adds a ROM allowing users to define their own fonts in 80 x 25 text mode.I do include a 30 day return privilege and free shipping within the U.S.
