If you have a Video Overlay Card, it can be coaxed into an interlaced
Super Hi-Res mode of 320x400 or 640x400 using Banks E0 and E1.  This
only works because the VOC has its own copy of memory for all the IIgs
graphics modes.

There was a demo for this I downloaded several years back which showed

a monochrome Mac OS screenshot @ 640x400 displayed on the IIgs.Technically impressive, but not practical as the interlaced video mode

caused a *lot* of flicker.

I also saw a demo on a IIe using a Video Overlay card to show some pics
in IIgs formats on a IIgs RGB monitor.
