SuperMac's latest advertisement shows 4 separate color monitors all
being driven by the same spectrum display card.  If you look closely
at the AppleColor monitor, you may notice the display overscans at the
right & bottom edges!  In fact, it looks like the monitor only displays
the top left corner of a 19" (1024*768) picture!

This is sort of like the inverse of the problem Mac II programs have
with Mac128 programs sticking in the upper left of the screen!  Has
anyone on the net *used* supermac's display with an Apple (or a
multiscan) monitor?  Are there any problems, like not being able to
grab the trashcan because it's off the bottom-right corner of the screen?

Another question: Stepping Out II, by Berkeley system design, has just
been released.  This program, which creates & manipulates a virtual
desktop to enlarge the screen, now supports the Mac II.  Has anyone
tried it on a Mac II?  Does it work well?
