RE: Hercules Graphic Station (HG1024) drivers or utility disks?
There is a BBS listed at the bottom of this page for older drivers, maybe that will help? http://www.os2museum.com/wp/two-more-tigas/ -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Ali Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2015 12:28 PM To: 'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts' Subject: Hercules Graphic Station (HG1024) drivers or utility disks? Hello All, My googlefu has failed me in trying to locate actual drivers for download for this card. This was a TIGA (34010) based card w/ built in VGA (so no pass through) with 1MB of VRAM and 2MB of DRAM. I believe there were DOS utilities, Windows 3.x drivers, and SW specific drivers (e.g. AutoCAD). OS/2 or NT drivers would be fantastic but I doubt they are out there.

Maybe this will do it? http://files.mpoli.fi/unpacked/software/dos/graphics/gds109.zip/gdsinfo .doc Thanks but I had already checked that site. This card wasn't something for the everyday user so I am not sure even how many would have been sold/survive. The original rice of the card was $1024 to $1495 in 1991. Although it was supposed to be a mass market device it really ended up being a niche device for AutoCAD and X-Windows users (like other TIGA cards). The TI Chip had excellent potential but like many other pieces of HW the SW/driver/support was never in place from TI (and of course there was the price barrier). -Ali
