- No, the GC card does not support this resolution. An adaptor with the
- correct sense code will not help you at all becaulse the firmware on the
- card simply does not have the support for this display resolution. There
- may also be a problem with the video clock generator on the card, in that
- is can't generate a stable 80 MHz video clock. (The 100 MHz clock used
- for 2-page resolution is produced by a separate 100 MHz oscillator.) To
- the best of my knowledge, the Q950 is the only product Apple is currently
- shipping that supports this resolution.
