Maximum non-interlaced resoulution for the A1200 is 1280 x 256 or 1472 x 290 (with overscan) not 640 x 480. Oh, and wasn't the apple a bag of %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!e.
No, ECS and AGA provided more modes. i used the 640x480 60Hz mode for workbench intensively before I got a gfx card.
The only bad thing about these productivity/Euro72 and multiscan mode was that they were not 15.x Khz and hence not 1084 comaptible. But with a multiscan mode these modes were quite useful.
