To make things even more attractive, productivity mode is at VGA resolution
(it could do monochrome VGA).  EGA is only 640*350, which is less than hires
interlaced -- and only 16 colors onscreen.  This means that all amigas could
display EGA, CGA, and monoVGA, tandy pretty easily. :)

Throw in the ULowel card... superVGA, XVGA...
