Obviously, the Portrait Display Video Card does, but is that only a 1-bit card? And what about the new 4.8 and 8.24 cards? Do they work with the Portrait Display? And if so, how many grays does one get? In all cases, assume that no expansion kits are involved; I just want to know what I get with these cards right out of the box. Many Thanks, Darryl E.
