Having a longer think about it this now throws up a few questions.
*1. *If the software can't do 16bit then why is it detailed in the manual how
to set it to 16bit and why is there an option in the RetinaScreenmode prefs
to use 16/24bit?
Quote from the Retina Manual. Page 17 Chapter 4.
"The fifth setting is the Workbench Color Depth. RetinaEmu can make the
Workbench screen open on a Retina 16 bit or 24 bit screen..."
What is the point of putting that in if it can't be done? I'm confused...
*2.* Why is there no CyberGraphX driver for it?
