Yo, Zegebart, you old buddy ;)

You must rip a Hercules or MDA card from original PC or PC XT (try to
search in museums). Why MDA (or backward compatible with it Hercules) ?
Because address space of MDA starts from 0xB0000, thus it does not
intersects with 0xA0000 and 0xB800 from CGA/EGA/VGA, and such two cards
can work together on the same computer.

However, I hope to see someday remote debuging feature in RHGDB and RHIDE
- via IPX (local NET) and via modem (or direct link).

Saliut, Comrade!
