Someone had asked if you paint in Real Time or if you had to Wait
to see your image with Ham-E.. After seeing it at the Ami-Expo Back in July,
I can say, that it Does paint in real time.  I believe the way the engineer
explained this is theat in actuality a 640x200 or 400 Interlaced picture
is being output, Then the HAM-E hardware compresses the infomation into
a 320x200 or 400 Interlace picture.  Thats what I understood of it.  So
Actually when you are painting on a 320x400 Picture.. it is a 640x400 Picture
Compressed.. So that gives you up to 16,192 Colors per screen at once.. Seeing
that you have 2 Pixels of information for ever one pixel displayed
on the screen.  But this still doesn't make sense to me because there is the
limit of 16 colors on a Hi-Res screen..
