[Patch] Plantronics Colorplus support
Another old-world video card; the Colorplus is a superset of CGA, with two extra graphics modes (320x200 16-colour and 640x200 4-colour).

Yes (apart from the bits copied and pasted from the CGA driver).

Committed to rev 561. Thanks!
I removed composite colour and snow emulation, as far as I could tell the ColorPlus doesn't support either. If this is wrong, please let me know and I'll reinstate them.

Re: [Patch] Plantronics Colorplus support
Apparently snow was a possibility: "With Flight Simulator, the Paradise MultiDisplay worked perfectly, but the Plantronics Color-Plus board produced a significant amount of color snow on an RGB monitor".
When I was developing the patch, I tested against the 'Plantronics mode' of the Paradise EGA chipset in a PC1640, and that didn't have any snow.
Regarding composite, the original ColorPlus didn't have a composite port, but at least some iterations of the ATI Graphics Solution (which supports the Plantronics modes) had one.

I also would like to have the Hercules video card to be configured as Green or Amber, as in DOSbox.
Technically, its not a configuration of the video card, but...
Can you write a patch? I bet it would be very easy to do.
Of course, Sarah should approve this idea
