I have the contents, but it was not on a separate disk for me. It was a subdirectory of the MS-DOS floppy from my Philips P3105.
I'll upload it somewhere.

Excellent, thanks a lot. Of course the contents are more than enough.

On a Hyundai PC clone which also came with this card it was a separate disk, visually different, labeled "graphics utilities" or something similar. It wasn't even in the same envelope with the rest "system disks" containing MS-DOS.
On another clone, the exact same contents where on a floppy having ATI's name on its label.
That's why I'm assuming there was some "official" disk, although it seems now that it has been distributed in many different ways.

Here's the images of the two floppies that came with my Philips P3105: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1f8g7g0cwdr7ge4/Phi … sP3105.zip?dl=0
See the VIDEO subdirectory on the MS-DOS 3.21 disk.

That's it, MS.COM! Just tried it and it works. You can have the card configured for Hercules from the dip switches enjoying clear text, run ms.com, select #4 and run a CGA game without loading SIMCGA.

Everything is in Dutch though and by the very simplistic appearance it looks like an older version of what I had, but it does the job. Thanks again!

Yea, I believe you can even pass it command line parameters. So you could make a batch file that does something like this:
@ECHO OFF
C:\VIDEO\MS.COM C80
RUNGAME
C:\VIDEO\MS.COM MG1

At least, that's what I seem to recall.

If I only knew this as a kid... No HDD, single drive. Imagine 😀 I'm going to try this for sure and get my revenge.

...aaand the ATI disk I had memories of, just as I was starting to believe I'm getting too old and loosing it, revealed itself. It was lying under our eyes all this time.
This is the full/ATI branded Graphics Solution disk from 1987, as found at minuszerodegrees.net (a site of amazing content I must say).

It's the disk which came with my first PC clone mentioned earlier having an ATI logo on the label. It's not showing on the dosbox screenshot I just took, but it actually has a menu bar 😀 It's a slightly later version of what Scali kindly shared.

Ah cool, I'll have to check that disk out on my machine.

wow that's cool. That means dip-switches stay hercules, monitor stays hercules,
but software emulates and displays CGA...that's cool! no ghosting, no scanlines,
wow that's REALLY cool. ...but useless for my euro pc with HGC/CGA Paradise-Chip 🙁

I believe the Paradise can do the same thing.

Thx scali, that would be a killer-feature 😀. So I only need the tools for that paradise chip.
It's a Paradise PVC4 38307c, the same chip is used in a commodore PC-10-III and labeled "AGA" Graphics.
Perhaps I can get the Paradise Tools from that machine...
