Okay.  I knew it was a really small number in one direction.  200.  That's
right.  640x200 was one of the two SHR modes, and 320x200 was the other.
Those analog displays... some weird resolutions because it didn't matter
much -- fixed sync monitors, just using partial pixels to emulate
different resolutions, IIRC.  One thing about an analog waveform,
resolution becomes a lot less complicated.  :-)
