That certainly /gets rid/ of most problems. Doesn't necessarily produce
a /solution/ though ;)

Oh, yeah. Cramming those 16 bits through an 8 bit bus must have confused me.
Their color selection sucked anyway; it had me pining for the Apple II.

Obviously I couldn't rest until the gamma handling was fixed.

My first computer have only 8 red leds as display,
really nice setup for some k2000 effects...

It have two graphic modes, low res and high res.
You describe the hires mode.
Low res is 40 x 48 in 16 colours.

Sounds like an abused text mode to me (40x24 characters, using 2-block
graphic characters and per-character foreground/background colours).

That's effectively what it was, although I can't remember if that was
literally the case. Either way, it was handled transparently by the
graphics commands.
The original Apple II used a 6 bit ASCII subset, so there was plenty of
room to play around with the extra bits. The Apple IIe used the full 7
bit ASCII set, but I'm less familiar with that model.
