Dear Net-ers: Earlier this week got my Orchid PRO- DESIGNER-II (Along with a Sony-1304-- GREAT COMBO) and just today got my Tseng Lab Inc. (TLI) ET-4000 controller data book. While checking out the specs on the 4000-chip, my eyes bugged as I saw that it is (in theory anyway) capable of producing 65535 colors on screen using 2 bytes to produce a pixel. Unfortunately there is little additional information in the TLI manual. (at least as far as I can decipher.) Sooooo, the question. Can any of you graphic gurus out there give me any help on using this 'mode' of the chip? IT IS NOT one of the standard INT-10 functions, and I'm assuming I'll have to 'poke' it in my self. Will the Pro-II even allow it work? Is it too much trouble to dink with? E-Mail welcome. Thanks in advance. BB
