The answer is New Hardware. What limits the resolution on the ST is the
amount of video memory (currently 32K). You would need to increase that
to get more resolution.

Don't praise IBM. They have not produced "state of the art" personal
computers yet. What they have come out with is a family of horrible
personal computers for abominable prices. Maybe their new RISC machine
will finally be a good product, but that is not an attempt to establish
standards.
