   The reason you are getting only 8 colors in high resolution instead of
16 is probably because of memory limitations.  I have 2 meg (you mentioned
1.5 meg), and that barely gets me the 16 colors.  With another 1/2 meg,
your graphics programs will allow you the higher color modes.  With another
meg, you would also be able to get Extra Half Bright (EHB) which would
give you 16 colors plus 16 more in high resolution (640 x 400) of half
intensity, with software which supports it such as DPaint III.  Try, the
640 x 200 mode, with 1.5, I think you can get 16.  What other software
are you using???                         J. Petersen (LadyHawke)
