I wish I would have had this special driver for the 16-color CGA mode (!) on the Amstrad PC1512 back then: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=75497 https:/

What killed me is that I had an ATI Graphics Solution that could do Plantronics modes[1]. Even came with a demo disk showing off the glorious 16 colors. Took 30+ years but someone finally wrote a Sierra driver for it[2]!

  We should probably both have gotten Amigas instead.

    Then I couldn’t have split the 5.25” and 3.5” PC disks with my PS/2 owning schoolmate! (Yes, Mr. Look-at-me-with-VGA…)
