That is the idea.. New "softswitches" for **incompatible** video
modes.
Not a very useful thing (zero software available to take advantage of
it)
but it would be a fun project.
in your example above, 1 pixel = 256 colors (eight bits, 1 byte)
I'm going to get around to this project myself, eventually. I'd like
to hear of other resolutions / color schemes.
