The GS era ended!!  Don't tell that to Sequential, Vitesse, _Shareware 
Solutions_, _GS+_, _Power GS_, etc., etc. . . .

"The GS era" is perhaps not the right term.  Apple II and Apple IIgs is not 
so much an era as an attitude--the attitude to do something in spite of 
people (Apple included) saying it can't be done.  3200 color is one of those 
things people said couldn't be one on a GS.

So . . . 

3200 color is a hack.  You could convert them with something like SuperConvert
on the GS.  You wouldn't be able to convert the pallete, though--it would 
have to be B&W, I think.  Don't know if Prizm would handle it.  Someone 
should create a converter.  Something like it might be very useful for 
SecondSight, too.
