That's most probably what I've got, perched quite happily
atop my LC. Odd though, it doesn't feel at all cramped, I
guess the Mac user interface is more efficient than some.

Hmm... 192Kb...

384Kb...

Worked too =o) Thinking about it though, with 256Kb of
display memory you could do 640 x 400 in 256 colours. It
might have added to the cost of the monitor though.
