If you say its a hardware problem.what hardware problem?! $dff180 was the start of the color lookup table and no register other than color register where placed after $dff180 (not anymore!) And if you get hires 4bit you get lores 8bit... the only diferecne betwen hirs 4bit and lores 8bit is display delay time and use a 256 color table instead of 16. Like Half bright! was it hard to have 64 color register?! I'm sory but I dont see any hardware for both: true 6 bitplanes and making 8 bit available in lores... Or is it because it hase only 256 word addresing space?! and even in that case true 6 bit was posible. Anyone actually know why? Stephan.
