	There are two ways to get Hedley mode... The first (and most available)
is to purchase a Moniterm monitor for your 2000. This gives you the 1024x800
monochrome mode and the 640x400 16 grey scale mode. The second way is to get
a real Hedley monitor from Commodore (Not available in the US yet... :-( )
and plug it into any Amiga. The big difference between them is that C='s
has the video card built into the monitor and the Moniterm has the video
card external... Either way, it's fairly spendy.
