Are you sure? I had asked about HALFBRITE a while ago, and was told that it
was put in to some Amiga's (a YEAR ago), then dropped with no plans to
support it in the future. I was also told that it was not possible to
order it or get the chip in any way.

So, commodore, what is the story? Will the HALFBRITE mode be comming back?
If so, can we get it?

(I was told that the reason it was dropped was because they were working
on a chip with more bits per color, and so would be unnecesary.)
