I have to back off on this claim:

This claim is something like Shannon's Theorem. I know it should be possible,
given the hardware and the resolution of a monitor, but I have no idea how.
You would have to find some way to keep pumping pixels during the vertical
blanking period. It's easy on the Amiga, but may require hardware hacking on
the ST.
