Similarly, I keep seeing data sheets that tell me the integral monitor on
my Performa 5260 is capable of a better resolution than 640 x 480 in 256
colour mode - 800-and-something x whatever, but I can't make it do that. 
I've assumed that the data sheets pertain to a US-only educational model
or something, but I find it hard to find out what I've got as it's
considerably higher-spec than what I ordered and I don't want to tell the
vendor :)
