I'm wondering then if this is reliant on the System version. The only PowerMacs currently in my possession are currently running 9.1 and 10.1, neither of which support 16 colours. I think 8.1 doeas on my 840av but is that the OS or the machine? -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
