When doing development for Windows in the early Windows 3 days, if you had a Hercules card and monitor in addition to a VGA one you could run the debugger on the Hercules. This was a much nicer setup than debugging everything on the VGA.
- mmastrac 3y agoThis worked for any mono card. Mono was at segment 0xb000, Colour text was at 0xb800, VGA was at 0xa000. I used to run Turbo Debugger on one monitor, and commercial games I was fiddling with in various ways on the other. You could break into code without disrupting the VGA registers.
