	I don't know about TX. But Both 1000 SL and 1000 TL have 640x200x16. If
you ever try DeskMate on these two machine, you will find it has 16 colors. I  
don't know it is documented, but a lot games (for example all games published bySierra) have setup for Tandy. Interestingly enough, after I run a TSR which set
the driver to PCjr, the screen became four-colored (which looked really dull
compared with its original).
