-
- Intuition (The AmigaOS GUI system) can only handle up to 256 colours, so
- the maximum number of colours a normal WB screen can have is 256.
-
- CyberGraphX, the RTG software that comes with the CV64, provides an
- extension to Intuition that allows the creation of 15, 16 and 24 bit
- screens for programs to use, including workbench.
-
- In short, a CV64 can open a 24bit deep WB Screen.
