No. The 355, 360, and possibly the 755 have the Western Digital 90C24 is I think is VESA
and has 1MB of RAM. You should at least get up to 256 or 65,536 colors. Since you have a dual
scan LCD, you might be able to get 65K color setting, but you won't get that many simultaniously.

Check WD's website, and look for a more recent driver.

For the 360, it is under the floppy drive on the left side of the machine. It looks like a PCMCIA slot,
but it is in fact for the memory. The last I heard, you could add a 16MB module to boost it up to 20MB,
but this might have changed now (like with the 701, from 24 to 40).
