It provides text video output compatible with the IBM 5151 monochrome monitor, as well as monochrome graphics output compatible with the Hercules video card. it was also capable of an extended 132-character monochrome text mode, which caused it to become a popular option for PC users who needed to interact with mainframe terminal emulators.
