I tried it, and low and behold it worked, though the dispaly seemed a tad
fuzzy, even when setting the sharpness to maximum. 

However, I'm confused by one thing. I can get color using lo-res graphics,
hi-res graphics, double-hi-res graphics, and super high res graphics, but
I get Apple IIe style text screens. The familiar black background, black
border, and white text, in contrast to what's in the control panel. Is
there any explination to why this is the case? It doesn't make sense why
everything would be in color except for my dark blue background and yellow
text.
