And... once you've gone that far, you happen to have enough dynamic
range to convert color to gray scale for BB and others.

And.... once you've added gray scale, adding support for the standard
bi-level games is a piece of cake. At that point you have it all
wrapped up.

BTW, the whole package fits very nicely into a mach 211.

But those damn diodes are like 3 bucks a piece and you need 6.

P.S. If Zonn doesn't get to it, I can send you a snap-shot as well.
