The HAM-E mode allows 768x480 with 261,000 simultaneous colors
out of a palette of 16.7 million. It is using a HAM-type mode,
but with something on the order of 256 registers so that there is
less streaking. The image itself is actually only 384x480, but
there is an anti-aliasing chip (which costs $120 extra) which
computes an in-between color for each pixel.

You can also get a straight-out 256 out of 16.7 million mode (or
is it 512 color, I forget) which works like you'd expect.

The output is RGB.
