You didn't read that Atari-thread did you ? ;-)

The A2024 will do 1024x1008@50Hz on PAL-Amigas and 1024x800@60Hz
on NTSC-Amigas. A bug in the driver reduced that to 1008x .... (not sure
wether that was fixed sometimes), and in theory it would run on any
Amiga with 1Mb and atleast Kick1.3 (needed a special Jumpstart_1.4 WB
for that). Now actually useing it with less than 3Mb wasn't a really smart
idea, but it worked. It did not use the SuperHighRes-based resolution
of the ECS-Denise, but some mega-interlaced HighRes.
(the 2024 also worked as a FF for normal interlaced modes).

@MaDDuck
Offcourse it were 4 greyscales,not colors, atleast until you did that Aminet-hack
that connected the A2024's logic-board to a normal VGA-monitor (57kHz oe more).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

No, the Amiga just gave a normal 640x200(256) signal in 2 bit, the plane-pointers
were switched on every pic, resulting in every frame taking up to 0.1 secs to
be build. Chipmem use was also high, but not the bandwidth used.

Nice pic, wrong info :-o

The 2024 didn't use long-shinning phosphor but an advaced
flickerfixer to get a stable pic.
