[comp.sys.apple] Laser 128 double-double hi-res

Mike J Pender asks about the extra hi-res feature on the Laser 128...

The new Lasers no longer have that feature.  I recently talked with some
Central Point people (who were doing a demo at our club meeting) and asked
about it.  No one (that they knew of) had written anything to take advantage
of it and they dropped it for more important ROM code (like increased
compatibility).

The only time I ever saw the mode in action was on a demo disk that was
supplied with the very early Laser.  If you have ever seen an Amiga flicker in
the hold and modify mode... this was worse.  Far worse.
