  I think the names are correct.  Xbsdcc2 is 2 bit planes, and xbsdcc4 is
4 planes.  I'm seeing the same results as Chris on xbsdcc4.  I don't know
about the speed difference though - xbsdcc4 just locked up on my system
(68040 PPI board).

  Yes, it's nice to see colors on my display now, even if it's slow.
