        The cameras intended for use with the DigiView's colorwheel were
B&W Considering that it's captures were done in 4096 colors, it was
pretty advanced for it's time. Other than expensive high-end stuff, few
video cards were even capable of displaying to that depth. It would be
nearly two years before the PS/2 would introduce VGA and it's 256 color
