   ============

   This file lists the horizontal scan rates (also known as 
   horizontal frequencies) and refresh rates (also known as
   vertical frequencies or frame rates) for the monitor
   classes supported by the Hercules Stingray products.

   To find out which monitor class your monitor belongs to:
   From the DOS prompt, change to your Stingray operating
   software directory (e.g. cd C:\HERCULES) and type
   HERCULES [Enter]. Then select the "Operating Status"
   under the Option menu item.
