- How was this done? Is there a graphics mode of the 95LX which has 640x200
- resolution? My impression was that the 95LX screen was something like
- 320x128 resolution-I don't see how you could get a readable font with
- 4x5 bits allowed per character. It would be _very_ nice to have a readable
- fast 80 character font for viewing files and such.
