I thought the CGA adaptor was capable of 256 simultaneous colors ... or
is that another IBM PC adaptor?  In any case, can someone fill me in on
the capabilities of the 256 color IBM PC adaptor?  Can it generate 256
grey scales ... 256 independently controlled colors ... or is it simply
confined to whatever existing palette it comes with.

Thanks, AJ
