To the best of my (imperfect) knowledge, you can't. The secondary card
absolutely *has* to be a mono / hercules one. That's because these
cards have memory layouts completely separate from those of all the
color cards (CGA, EGA, VGA, and up), so you don't get any conflicts.

There used to be some TSENG ET3000 or ET4000 cards that could be
switched to 'hercules hardware compatibility mode', or something like
that, I think, but your Trident won't help you a bit, there.

Happy digging for anyone with a still-working Hercules setup to give
you...
