I am using a few PC LTD 286 clones with AutoCAD with their mono card with no problem. They are configured using the Hercules Mono option.

I've fought with several of the almost Herc clones and found that some of them when used with Acad will push the Hor. and Vert. out beyond the lock limits of some mono monitors. Try letting the monitor cool off and then bring up Acad and try to adjust the V and H syncs, sometimes this will work enough to verify it's the monitor and not the card. Second option is to get somthing like a Genoa 4850-7 EGA card (about $200-250) and set switches up to run as EGA on mono monitor. Text on above looks great and so does Acad.
