*Black/grey* instead of *brown*? The C128's system colours are light green on
dark grey with a light green border in 40-column mode, and cyan on black in
80-column mode. What's the status of the 40/80 COL key, and what happens when
you force the unit to 64 mode (hold down the C= key as you turn the unit on)?
