It does CGA text mode ( 80x25, 16 colour ) plus CGA hires graphics  (640x200
mono) and CGA lores ( 320x200 4 colour ) ( and 40x25 colour text mode if 
you really like running GWBasic :-).
 
According to Norton's SI it's rated at 1.2 times a 4.77mhz XT ( that's
on a 2630 - 25mhz ) - no speed demon but WAY better than transformer
( like it actually _works_ )
 
And it reads/writes PC floppies just fine (thanks to MSH:-)
