- Short: Get 724x566 on a standard Amiga with CM8833II/1084s monitor
- Author: Philip Goddard
- Uploader: philip@amethyst.demon.co.uk (Philip Goddard, Pure Amiga)
- Type: util/wb
-
- This is a very small utility (?) that will enable you to get a
- resolution of 724x566 on a bog-standard Amiga, with a Phillps
- CM8833II or Commodore 1084s monitor. There's no hardware alterations
- needed (well, apart from the screensize controls), and no new drivers.
-
- It uses the Overscan video mode of the Amiga's native chipset to boost
- the resolution up a little. You can still use *all* your games and
- other apps without any loss of picture, flawlessly- no, really! :)
-
- 724x566 is for AGA chipsets, ECS/OCS may get slightly less, if
- anything. Just try it- you can't break it.
-
- This won't work with GFX cards (c'mon guys, do you really need it? :-)
- but is not tested with any modes other than the standard Amiga modes
- (Lowres, Hires, and Interlace on both), so I can't be responsible if
- you try using it on something like Multiscan:Productivity.
-
- Until you get a GFX card (which you /are/, OK? :-)), this is near as
- dammit to 800x600- try running Voyager on a screen this size :).
-
- Have fun!
