KNOWN PROBLEMS
Some VGA drivers have a problem with 16 greyscale pictures. Use 64
greyscale instead. Some recent drivers have fixed this problem.
8 bit recording on Sound Blaster cards occasionally looses a buffer
and the picture jumps sidewards. Use 16 bit recording instead. The
latest Sound Blaster drivers (Feb 96) seemed to have fixed this problem.
