RS> Fraid so. You are presumably using Hercules. MDA is lower.

PE> Nope, I'm using a monochrome text card, lower than MDA.

RS> Nope, aint no such animal.

PE> I can't display ANY graphics at all, just characters.

RS> Sounds like its actually MDA. What does MSD call it ?

PE> MSD calls it MDA, Unknown.

The unknown is just the manufacturer, MSD cant see
that. It can with fancier video cards like VGA etc.

PE> However, I know that I'm the only person in the world
PE> who can only display text, no graphics capability at all.

Well, thats a different question to lower
than MDA, its just MDA. Yes, few use MDA.

PE> I thought there were monochrome cards that
PE> could display graphics (not Hercules either).

There are some obscure cards around, and you can have
graphics and mono with CGA with a mono monitor too.

PE> If so, what are they called, because I don't have one of them.

Well, they aint lower than MDA. Nothing is lower than MDA.
Snakes belly stuff is MDA.
