A salesman that I talked to when I bought my 6300 (appr. one month
ago) told me that using hi-res graphics with a 6300 was possible,
but that a special board was required to completely emulate an
EGA board. I suspect that the 6300 creates the illusion of 640x400
resolution by doubling the raster lines from the CGA 640x200 mode.
Since the monitor (I assume you have an AT&T monitor) obviously is
able to display this resolution, I suspect that a hardware mod is
required to get the 16 color palette and higher *true* resolution
of an EGA. If this is the case, then a software driver will not do
the trick. Anybody out there know for sure?.......
