Ah, yes, just testing you...  Do as I do, not as I say :-).


The only difference I could find between your code and mine is the settting
of the GDevice flags.  You set yours to $4001, I set mine to:

#define kGDFlags  ((1 << screenActive) + (1 << noDriver) +\
		(1<<ramInit) + (1<<gdDevType))


Here is an extraction of the C version that seems to work (Mac II fx with
no 32-bit QuickDraw).

void CGrafPtrOffscreen :: IGrafPtrOffscreen(Rect *offBounds, CTabHandle 
itsColors,
         int depth )

No guraentees that it compiles, etc.  But it may help
