Since in the PC a MDA and Hercules card is located at 0xB000 and CGA, EGA, VGA at 0xB800 you can use two of those types simultaneously. Some programs made use of it.

I haven't studied DOSBox code yet, but can it be done without major effort to open a second window in hercules mode?

SDL doesn't support multiple windows.

Could it be done in one window (next to each other or with a special key for switching)? (just being curious)
