  Ah-hah! Now that's a different question. Eeprom-man speak with
  forked tongue. That EED_SCR_640X480 is actually the 1024x768 "low
  resolution" entry for the 386i version of the bwtwo.
   
  I have a vague feeling that the 1024x1024 might have been one of 
  the colour modes for the 386i... Anyone???

  I don't recall ever seeing anything with a 1440x1440 resolution, though.
