The 1950 displays the Super Hi-Res mode just fine.  You have to turn off
the display enhancer, otherwise you get the "every other pixel" effect.
Also, since Super Hi-Res uses 35ns pixels, only the restricted 64-color
pallette is available.  I would love to have a 1000+ pallette in Super Hi-
Res, but the 64-color pallete isn't really as restrictive as I thought.
