The mono and color options in the DECstation use different
display cards. The mono is only single bit, while the color
is 8 bit. If the mono and color options were just a monitor
difference, you could do gray scales on the b/w screen.
It would be really nice to have a DECstation option with
a 8 bit gray scale moniter. (Maybe I'll get the color option
and put my b/w moniter on it :-)
