- The CyberVision can't do a 16 color mode. 8 bit is the least you can do.
- There's *no* reason to use a 16 color Cybergraphx-mode, since it's not
- slower than 256 colors and it always takes the same amount of memory as the
- 8 bit version.

- Maybe there's a little bug in the 16 color modes, but these modes are there
- only for compatibility, so switch to 8 bit and enjoy the colors!
