No, it is only the case of this one. Your NEC 3D should be able to show the
other screen modes. 
In any case, if you call AcornBBS in Holland at +31 206631849 and download a
file called SuperTool or something you'll find a complete description
together with control software of how to build your own VIDCenhancer ala the 
one from Atomwide. And it'll cost you less than 10# !
