BM> MB>I'm wondering, do non-plane 16-color modes exists?... it would make

 BM> As far as I know, only Tandy computers have single-planar 16-color 
des.
Tandy are clones of PCjr. I had a PCjr in the late 8ies, was quite
cool, the 16-color mode was basically a CGA-like mode, memory-wise.
 BM> Two read modes... one asks "is the bit active in this plane?", the other

Hmmm i'll have to recheck my docs... but i usually try to avoid doing
getpixel...
 BM> Only white or black is all planes at once... other colors are active in

Wo... that's not what i meant by `all planes at once'.
 BM> writing the same data to a set of bit planes, another copies data from

 BM> part of the screen to another, and the third writes individual pixels.
the `copying' part of it is quite interesting for sprites on slow
machines...
