- As far as I'm aware, this is wrong. SuperVGA is anything better than
- VGA. It does NOT mean just resolution. Original VGA maxed out at
- 640x480x16 colours, and could not do 640x480x256 colours, while
- SuperVGA can. Therefore 640x480x256 colours is indeed in the range
- of SuperVGA by virtue of the number of simultaneous colours. There
- are however also higher resolutions in SuperVGA as well, which to
- my great disappointment the Falcon can't do. :(
