Out of curiosity, does it do simultaneous 8bpp and 24bpp?  If not,
it'll feel awfully slow.  (That's the major feature of my xcg14, to my
mind: 8bpp and 24bpp on the same screen.  24bpp without acceleration is
pretty sluggish-feeling, even with an SS20 driving it, so I wanted to
use it only when necessary.)
