Can MSWindows support more than 16-colors?  If so, do any of the
graphics board manufacturers support more?

The reason I ask this question is that I own a Vega-VGA board from
Video-7.  In addition to normal EGA and VGA support for windows,
Video 7 also provides Windows drivers for higher resolutions:
800 x 600 and 720 x 540.  However, these drivers support just 16
colors.  I was hoping for a Windows driver that would support
320 x 200 x 256 COLORS!  (From what I have seen of the quality
of GIF pictures in this VGA mode, I would think that this tradeoff
of resolution for color-quality would be welcomed by many.)

Can anyone know of ANY manufacturer supporting this VGA mode under
MSWindows?
