Works fine. You can even run a mono/herc card in the same machine with a
color display adapter (CGA/EGA/VGA). Just use the mode command to switch
between them in DOS, forget what to use in Linux.

Type "mode mono" display switches to the mono monitor
Type "mode co80" and the display switches to 80x25 color mode on the VGA.
