I have a IIx (A/UX and MacOS) on which I have an Apple TPD & TPD 4 bit video
card. I recently got a IIfx for a week and just hooked it up in place of
my system box and booted off the same external disk. I also used my same video
card.  The only functional differnce I noteiced was in highlighting of
selected items.  Both in the finder and in Excel dialogs (like number
format selection, but not in general cell selection) instead of being
inverse video (white on black) as it was on my IIx, its now black on dark
grey.  The Monitor Cdev shows greys/16 as always.  Switching to black&white
of course works, but I like greyscale mode to be able to have a solid
grey desktop.  The black on grey highlight is just about unreadable.  What
is going on here?  I am running 6.05 everything in both cases (same disk)
The iix does not have 32bit QD in roms (as i assume the iifx does) , but it
is installed in the system folder.
