Talking to the local Amiga dealer, he stated that given the right monitor
to drive it, the Amiga could be programmed to run in very high resolution.
The numbers quoted were 1280x1024 interlaced.  Can anybody confirm this?

Could the Amiga change from the NTSC "Crawling Interlace" that causes the
high-res flicker, to a 70HZ and a 262.5 (rather than 262.525) scan rate?
This appears to be the way the ATARI gets it's high res (It doesn't flicker,
but it's monochrome)?  The natural persistance of the Phosphor seems to hide
flicker unless you look very very close (1" with a magnifying glass).
