; difference between the 710 and 610 is the operating system and 8 bit screen
; (710) vs 16 bit 64,000 color on the 610. To be honest, I looked at both

The screen hardware is the same, it's the OS that's the difference.
OS3.5 only supports 8bit color (256 colors), whereas OS4 supports 16bit
color (16k colors).

If you have software that writes to the display directly, you can get
16bit color out of both units.
