One fine day ago I read something about a chip called (appropriately
anthropomorphically) Daphne.  I don't know much about the Amiga
innards, but I saw something about a different 'halfbrite' graphics
mode.  Does anyone know anything about it?  Also, off on a
tangent, why was the Amiga named so?  (Do the original designers
have a thing for female computers?)
