Funny you should ask that. Here's what IBM folks told me--"You need an 8-bit
graphics card for that." I said, hmm, it would seem strange to have a color
option less than 8-bit. I told them this.
"Oh, you need a 3-d graphics board." This may actually be the answer, we
haven't gotten the new boards yet ($4000, upgradeable to 24-bit).
Let me know if you find out anything else...
