I remember it well. I also remember that you hoped the CRT had
remembered the X/Y height/width/position settings for each
resolution's mode, or you'd have to do a lot of fiddling with each
change. Also the "clunk" presumably from the Line Output Transformer
as it coped with the sudden change in demand.
But none of this applied to the linux console of course.
Cheers,
