   Bzzzzt!  Mine does.  Or at least in DPaint in 64 color mode
  it looks like 32 colors and 32 half tones.....  I thought that
  it was only the very early A1000's that couldn't.  I got mine 
  in May '86.

   Bzzzzt!  I do.  All I own is an A1000, as do many other programmers.
  So, by definition it is tested.  I have to go find A500's and A2000's
  to test on..... :)
