- The EHB Mode is a mode inherent in the ECS (Super) Denise chip. The original
- OCS Denise chip did NOT support it. Now, if you also would need the Fatter
- Agnus (1MB) chip (Also ECS) for EHB mode, I don't think so.

- While much mention of A1000's and no EHB mode was noted, there are plenty of
- older A500's that are strictly OCS that also don't support EHB modes (again,
- to the best of my knowledge).
-
- Anyone with some definite knowledge, please verify or stomp on my comments! ;)
