- Depends on how many SHR display pages the GS offers. I don't have a
- GS, so I could be wrong on this, but I think the GS only has two SHR
- pages (just like it has two of every other kind of page). The CoCo,
- on the other hand, lets you put a display page anywhere in
- memory...it's easy to set up 3 or more pages. (I do know this; I
- picked up a CoCo 2 a couple of weeks ago and have messed around with
- graphics a bit on it. Not as many colors are possible on
- it...probably the best compromise between color and resolution would
- be G3C (128x96x4--square pixels) or G6C (128x192x4--fat pixels)--and
- the palette is fixed as green/yellow/blue/red or
- buff/cyan/magenta/orange.)
