Yup. Its all there but ...
Also, theres' plenty of mem according to the memory status
at the top (I have the full 2Mb Chip and 16Mb fast)
AND the Screenmode tool indicates 64 on the slider and Multiscan is highlighted but
the screen is in DblNTSC/4 color. It will only go to a new
screen mode/depth if I /change/ the setting in the prefs
editor!?
