     That may be; perhaps, double lores, too. Part of the mystery comes from the
rather vague specifications supplied on Sequential's site. Evidently, the board
can do _a_ double-hires mode; but, it does not support standard Apple II
double-hires (as would be necessary for using DHR utilities and to play games
like King's Quest, Might & Magic II, Arrow Heart, etc.).

     Perhaps an SS board owner will clarify what the board can and can not do.
