OK, now that I know WHAT Hedley mode is, can anyone tell me a little more
about it?  Like, how many bit planes, what the colour palette is, and what
machines it will work on.  It says above "providing one has the correct
monitor and display card", what display cards?  I thought the Amiga didn't
need a display card? Will "Hedley mode" be standard from C=?

By the way, I LOVE that name ... "Hedley mode".  Commodore is giving up
"GURU meditation" which really pissed me off, but this is not bad trade off.
