I am running a 13" color monitor on my SE/30 (RasterOps 264/30 -> Seiko CM1445C), and typically run in 8-bit mode. I have not run on just my SE/30 internal screen with 7.0, so I can't say how color is affecting things at this point. I _can_ tell you that toggling into 24-bit mode will make that low-memory crawl into a _glacial_ experience :-) -- | Paul E. Jacoby, 3M Company | | | Maplewood, MN 55144-1000 | Parachuting?
