Actually when I wrote the original posting, I was sure of the IBM specs (I don't think anyone is) I was sort of hoping to get a reaction from the crowd and find out if Amy was really threatened. To day I know two more things about VGA: * the 256 colors out of 256k colors are only available on the 320 X 200 resolution screen. * the 640 X 480 screen has 16 colors available. (no idea about interlace) There are NO MODES in between.
