- Actually, the term "Super-VGA" is even less defined than "True Colour".
-
- All a graphics system need to claim "Super-VGA" is better than 640*480
- resolution. Since the Falcon can do overscan, hence 768x576 pixels,
- it is, technically, Super-VGA.
-
- No point arguing - that's the fact. Whether it is *misleading* to
- say the Falcon provides Super-VGA is another issue. Personally, I
- prefer to say "Better than VGA" or "More than VGA" graphics.
