I had always hoped this was true, but why is the butterfly screen limited
to 1.7Mil colors? It doesn't seem like a "round" (binary power) number.
I also remember seeing some of the early Cirrus Logic TFT chip specs and
they were claiming more color support than other chipsets because they
flickered the separate RGB transistors to simulate more colors...
WD9024 -> D/A and TFT interface -> TFT
I think the Cirrus chip I looked at was the middle portion of the above.
