SCREEN8 has a special fixed color table for sprites. It's in the VDP
manual. I'll look it up when I'm back in Eindhoven.

It can create 512 different colors (8*8*8=512). But unless you use screen
splits, you cannot see all those colors at the same time.

Is greyscale one of the features marked "composite video only"?
I think someone once wrote that the V9938 has both composite and RGB output
and that most MSX models use the RGB output to make a composite signal
using a converter.
This explained why the color burst registers do nothing on most MSX models.
Maybe greyscale is a similar matter.
