Before this gets even further out of hand:  Chuck where did you read
that the Hedley can display > 32 shades of grey?  All the material
I have on the Hedley states that it can display only up to 8 shades of
grey when displaying "normal" Amiga screens, and that it can display
up to 4 shades of grey in the very high resolution screen mode.

Do you mean that you can think of ways of dithering to simulate 32 grey
levels or have you received information from Commodore that says you can
display 32 grey levels directly??

Commodore what is the final word on this issue??  I have a manual to
finish...
