Well the problem is that late A500s and A2000s were delievered with an
1MB Agnus. Now this chip does feature being both PAL and NTSC in one
and the better blit-modes found in ECS, but not the 2MB-support normally
ascoiated with ECS.

So are these machines (with standard Denise) OCS or are thes ECS ?

6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

64 colors ?

Every Amiga (except few very early A1000s) do support 6Bit modes.

OCS/ECS only EHB and HAM,and AGA real 6Bit (well and 7Bit and 8Bit too).

The A600 didn't have anthing the A500+ didn't have in that field, the only difference
where the switch to SMD (bad), the PCMCIA-port and onboard IDE.
