Please note that EHB is ONLY possible using a 6-bitplane, LORES (320 pixels
wide) display. This would probably not work out too well for the Workbench
screen for most people. Also note that overscan and interlace are still
available when using EHB. And as this is a 6-bitplane display, this takes
up 50% of the chip memory (and, of course, half-fast memory, too) bandwidth
while being displayed.
