/* MO6 and TO8 */
'''*640x200x2'''
 
Those Bitmap video modes are coded (hardware generated) slighly differently than on CPC so you can't simply port the Graphic Datas from CPC/PLUS to Thomson MO6/TO8 without some proper recoding.
Minus the lack of Hardware sprites and raster interrupt facilities (still doable on Thomson machines), the MO6 and TO8 are actually superior (in graphics) to the Amstrad PLUS Range due to the attribute based mode in addition to the 3 "CPC-like" modes, and largely superior to the Amstrad CPC due to the awesome Palette.

*'''Extra Video modes :''' Those Thomson computers also had a few extra video modes that enabled a transparency-masked plan (but with less colours than the usualCPC-like bitmap modes) and which could be used for video incrustation.
