How big is that pattern? Load it up with Multiview and take before and after
memory measurements. But I do think this is perhaps P96 using more memory for
something.

I don't know what the P-II is like with speed, but 16bit in 800x600 is my
preferred mode, on a 15" monitor.

Apparently it will work (P96 V2 has some CGX disabling code) but I take the
safe route:
Move the Devs:Monitors/ driver to storage, rename libs:picasso96.library to
libs:picasso96.library_h, then install CGX.
To go back to P96, do the same in reverse renaming (hiding) the libs:cgx#?
files.
Quote carefully and read all ADMIN:README mails
