It is a standard demo at dealer's shops and also was in an issue of Antic. It sure appears to use more than 16 colors, anybody know how? I stared at the screen in a local computer store and am almost positive that there were more than 16 colors at once. It didn't appear to use dithering or other tricks. Anybody know how it is done? Is the 520ST graphics controller capable of better graphics than advertised? --Bob Mayo (ucbvax!mayo, mayo@berkeley.ARPA)
