MaxAppleZoom expands the screen size.  It works by tweaking certain parameters
within the video driver that control the timing on the video card.  The only
place I have seen these parameters even PARTIALLY documented is in
Inside Mac V, first draft.  There really is a lot of untapped potentiality
in the high-res video card-- for instance, it supports hardware scrolling up
to 990 * 512.  

It will not work with the IIci built-in video.
