No. You can find all this in the Pro300 series technical manual, on
Bitsavers. The base video module is one plane, so black/white only.
The EBO module adds two more planes.
One technical manual(EK-PC350-TM) on bitsavers is for the 350 only.
Which states that you can sacrifice resolution for more shades.
The other (EK-PC300-V1 and -V2) covers both the 350 and 380 but is less
than crystal clear when it comes to the Bit Map Video Controller on the
380.
I'd be surprised if the 380 behaves differently, but I wanted to know if
anyone knew for certain. I read somewhere that few programs used the
lower resolution so in practice it might not matter so much.
