I've always thought that the forced 32x16 was a bit ancient as OS-9 was 
improved over the years.  There was really no reason why OS-9 L2 couldn't 
have been preconfigured to use the 80x24 or similar screen and then make 
the user work hard to bring up
the 32x16 mode instead.

If all other things have been improved, it only seems normal for the stock 
video mode to follow the pattern.  But then again,
there's probably issues that I'm not aware of.
