The word on compuserve when this was discussed a while ago, if I
remember correctly, was that the one person at Apple who really
understood the Mac II video board knows how to do this with a video
board ROM change, but that he had higher priority projects.  So the
answer is, pressure Apple to release this ROM through any means you
have available.
