Hi guys thanks for the replies. Like I said in the first post by the time they got to 256 colours, they might of realised that perhaps the Chunky mode might be best and they could of thrown one in the mix, using 1 word for each pixel. I don't know how much work that would of had to have been to the chipset. I know that the origional Amigas didn't come with much memory 256kb was not much but that would of been enough for slide shows, like they did with the HAM mode
