There are 2 files in this arc file that will give you higher than
normal screen sizes. To use these 2 files they MUST be renamed to
"System-Configuration" (note quotes of course) and copied into the devs
drawer of your WorkBench disk. When you reboot you will have either a 730 by
239 screen size when using s-c730x239, or a 730 by 478 when using s-c730x478.
A stock Amiga 1080 monitor is not able to display these screen
resolutions without internal adjustments. See the file "more.txt" for
instructions on how to make these adjustments to your monitor. I have added
a few additional notes to the instructions. They are in parathesis on top
of the paragraph.
By the way, I am using the System-Configuration file in this
directory on my boot disk. It gives me a workbench screen size of 730 by 239
or 730 by 478 in interlace. I adjusted the set screw that can be reached
thru the hole in the back of the Amiga 1080 monitor. It is labeled "Screen
height". When in interlace mode I can display 58 lines of text plus the
title-bar. If you figure that 66 lines is standard page size and the
standard margin for the top and botom is 5 lines each, then I can fit an
entire page of text on the screen at once!!!! Also with a screen width of
730 I can now fit 90 columns of text on screen at the same time. The 730
by 478 is my favorite because of the extra "Real Estate" it gives me for
opening windows and running tasks concurrently. I now feel like I have a
poor mans' work station.
