   Check it out. I reckon that this could be my first post to a newsgroup since   
   ~1998.   
   Anyhoo, Wow, that colour F0 brings back a lot of bad memories when I had 850   
   bytes of a basic listing in memory and the screen started to shrink on a good   
   old zx81!   Still have three or four ZX81's under the house which I should dig   
   out one day.   
      
      
   The Video Technology "Timex TX8000" (Otherwise known as a Laser 210 or VZ200   
   elsewhere throughout the world) used this default colour on their 6847 video   
   chips:   
   (Same as the MC10 and others that use the motorola 6847 video chip)   
      
   COLOR 2A   
      
      
   ...or my preference has always been Borlands Turbo Pascal / Turbo C scheme:   
   COLOR 1A   or   COLOR 1F
