- Sorry, this is wrong. Ipersonally use an 800*600, 32 colour Workbench
- using standard hardware. Runs at 81Hz interlaced, which works
- nicely. I've also had a 1024*768, 262144 colour Workbench. That one
- flickered something rotten, but I did it. The update frequency was
- almost identical to a PAL TV, but with vastly higher
- resoloution. Makes a superb screenmode for displaying PhotoCDs or
- JPEGs in.
