Can you publish some screen shots?  In particular, I'd like to see what the
80-column text mode looks like.  I'm not a gamer, but do care about being able
to use programming tools.

Here are a few pics I just took:

I don't think any of those are 80-column text mode, are they?  And, as Mike
added, it would be nice to see the GSOS desktop.

Pics 1 & 2 are 40 columns, 3 & 4 are 80 columns.  I'm waiting for the
MicroDrive to show up so until then, I probably won't have easy access
to the GSOS desktop.  I'll look for the system 6 setup disk, it's
gotta be here somewhere.

  A friend tested this unit.  It crapped out on 16mhz video
(640x200).  Maybe you'll have better luck.

So is the GS Finder desktop 640x200?  I nearly broke out in a cold
sweat when I read this and I had to find the GSOS disk.  Well, I'm
still happy to report that it's working for me.  I've updated the
picasa album with 3 more pictures from the Finder desktop.  I also
found a disk labeled Slide.3200.Vol#3, and ShowAll 3200 SmallPic,
which I vaguely recall as the palette switching 3200 color pics.  They
also displayed via the Ambery on the Acer 24" LCD.

I'll be happy to take more pictures this weekend, with better lighting
and steadier hands:

All the vertical stripes are the problem with 16MHz.  Ideally it would
be a non-distracting solid light blue (produced by a 16MHz dither
between dark blue and white [8MHz fundamental]).
