Re: Commodore 1901 monitor for IIgs?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

A non-interleaved monitor refreshes the screen display
on one pass.  An interleaved monitor refreshes in two
passes.  On the first pass it refreshes the odd lines and
on the second pass it refreshes the even lines.  This allowed
the Amiga to increase the color depth of the monitor.
I believe the Amiga was able to display only 16 colors
per scan and by using interleaving it could have a second
set of 16 colors.  It would then be able to increase the
number of colors it could display on the screen.  I think
a lot of IIgs programmers utilized this concept in programming
more colors on the IIgs.

The Amiga I don't believe supported CGA PC type monitors
as someone mentioned.  It had a special type of monitor
for it which met the requirements mentioned above.
