> I found the message below about a week ago(?)

I received a phone call from Scott Hood at CBM today. He described the
fix to the A2320 Display Enhancer card. This fix corrects the grey shade
problem that colours 777 and 888 are identical.
This problem does not exist with the A3000.

Simply put:
	Remove rp301 through rp303. This is a 180 ohm series resistor.
	Replace it with a 33 ohm series resistor.

Service centres should be receiving an update within the next few weeks.
This may not necessarily be considered a warranty repair but can
probably be accomodated by an exchange.

I must say that once again I am impressed by the responsiveness and
accessibility of the Commodore engineering team. Scott, thanks again for
your efforts.

Well I did this on my own (rp301,302,303 are resistor packs) removing the three
resistor packs and, not able to find 33ohm resistor packs I just used 12-33ohm
1/4watt resistors, all seems to work!  I now get a difference between a 777 grey
and a 888 grey.  Thanks for the POST!!!
