Keywords: halfbrite mode to go away

At a VMR meeting I attended in Manhatten, it was disclosed that rev 7
daphnes (denises, whatever) will no longer have half brite mode. Some
background:

	Most machines shipped have a rev 5 daphne.
	Some new machines have rev 6 which can do half brite (64
		color, 32 being half the  intensity of the other
		32).
	Most people cannot utilize hb mode since they have rev 5
		parts. Updating  everyone to rev 6 would be exp-
		ensive.
	No rev 7 parts have been shipped yet. But will in the future.

Bottom line:	Don't utilize hb mode in any code you are developing.

Could someone from C= confirm this to the net? Although I heard this
first hand from a high C= official, I'd like to see this from a second
C= source.
