Great video, but missing from the palette discussion is the cyan-red-grey option, which was by far the best one and only used in a handful of games.
Be sure to check out the game Round 42 for another great demonstration of the 160x100x16 mode.
I had access to that Tandy portable - it had the WORST screen ever, but for some reason I have a soft spot for it.
