No. I believe he is referring to the Atari ST 640x400 MONOCHROME mode. You
know.., the one you have to buy a SEPARATE monitor to use?? pretty brain dead
idea if you ask me. 

That was one of the main reasons I picked Amiga over the ST: 640x400 in COLOR
vs. Monochrome and I could use one monitor for all of the graphics modes even
though I did have to put up with interlace.
