I have a really dumb experiment that I need to check.
If you had an unenhanced apple iie, and then put a Pico based VGA adapter in - would that support double high resolution graphics?
Logically the answer should be no - the ROMs in an unhanced IIe are missing the ability to drive the video circuitry at that resolution.
Yet the IIe VGA card theoretically intercepts the video data - so there's a slight chance it could work?
