I just downloaded the MaxAppleZoom INIT/cdev from a local bbs. What it
does (in case you haven't heard of it) is increase the size of the screen
on a Mac II series computer with a genuine Apple color (640x480) board.
Amazingly enough, it works. Pretty much. My screen is now something like
700x500. Unfortunately, the left hand side of the screen is not quite right.
It seems to be shifted about ten pixels to the left. (In other words it's
not visible...) There's no mention of this possibility in the readme file
that came with the cdev. Sooooo, does anyone else have this cdev; has anyone
else had this problem?

Even with this small glitch, I think this cdev is pretty amazing.

Apple: If there was available memory on the card all this time, why didn't
you guys use it? The gains quoted above don't sound like much, but the gain
makes the screen feel _much_ larger. And as we all know... bigger is better!
