I installed an additional 512 kb of Video RAM in my Quadra 650 to get 
color X, however it ONLY works in 16-bit (i.e. thousands of  colors).

I've heard of this weird color map and have encountered it myself in 8-bit.

Setting the booter to "thousands" makes no difference?  I've 
encountered no problems with that.  Perhaps try setting the screen to 
16-bit depth and/or a different resolution BEFORE launching Booter.

Cheers,

Paul
