I have this adapter:

It has "MGP rev3" written on the board. HWInfo16 identifies it as a "Hercules" adapter.

This is the closest board I could find on Total Hardware: https://th99.dosreloaded.de/v/C-D/50119.htm

It has a 9 pin display adapter attached to an orange monochrome display.

Any chance this actually does Hercules graphics or is it text only?

64kb of vram certainly sounds like a Hercusneeze clone

I got it--- SUNTEK INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. MGP https://th99.dosreloaded.de/v/S-T/51352.htm

No luck getting graphics out of it yet. I tried running Prince of Persia in "herc" mode and POP said "unsupported adapter"

Edit: Ahh, that adapter is not supported under POPv1.4. I need to find 1.3
