I just glossed over the article, I thought the extra video RAM was just to
give 13" screen 8-bit colour (which it does), it did not occur that the 12"
screen would also benefit (which it should). I stand corrected.

There may be a problem with programs using this mode, but with Quickdraw this
is a minor point and most, if not all, programs should be able to run in this
new 16 bit mode. Imagine the same thing on a DOS clone? Nothing would work. 

BTW, the GS has the same ability and there is no reason why an enhanced video
card could not be produced (VOC not withstanding).
