I have a RasterOps 24S (just the plain 24S, not the 24STV) in my IIcx,
and it works with 8 bit color under X. I'm running a pretty old
NetBSD 1.2 color enabled kernel and X server (I'm away from my Mac at
the moment, so I can't tell you exactly which kernel and server; let
me know if you'd like this info). I boot NetBSD in 1-bit mode, and X
automatically switches to 8-bit when starting. If I boot in 8-bit
mode, then the text on the console appears expanded by 2 to 3 times
its normal width.
