Without actually talking to Sockmaster, I have deduced that what he has done
was simular to the HAM (Hold An Modify) trick done on the Amiga which
allowed it to display all 4095 colors of its palette. The down side of the
Amiga HAM was artifacting anytime the screen was scrolled from the original
position. It got pretty bad during certain instances. But it was cool just
the same.
