ability to 'show' more than one resolution on screen at a time? mix 640/512/interlace as well as 320/256 PAL etc
Actually, this was nothing new. You could display more than one resolution on the screen with Atari's old 8-bit range (400/800/XL/XE) - which, incidentally, the legendary Jay Miner also worked on :-)
In many ways the old Atari's programmable DLI's (Display List Interupts) were a forerunner to the Amiga's Copper.
A lot of the programs I wrote for the Atari 8-bit took advantage of DLI's.
