says that you can set b&w mode for double-hires by disabling 80COL

heavily dispute it.
This should be feature of a slot7 RGB card, not of the //e on-board
video generator.
Is that feature actually used by any programs, so it's worth simulating
it? What about e.g. Beagle Graphics, is that the explanation for the
four "modes" which I don't understand at the moment?
What does the ordinary //e do in that situation? Normal hires, is that
correct?
: I think I read somewhere that RGB cards for the IIe look at the high
: bit of each byte when displaying double Hi-Res. The high bit tells
: the video hardware to display as B&W or as color. You can set this
: bit differently for each group of 7 pixels on the screen.
Is that true?
Depends on the RGB card, but definitely possible.
Same question as above: Has anyone seen such a card, and is it worth
emulating it?
