Oh yes... CGA Hi-Res is 640x200, it was kinda fun to watch such really tall pixels, i remember doing some math and using graph paper to keep the proportions in my bitmaps Hercules Hi-Res was 720x350, and the ROM that contained the patterns for the characters in Text Mode could be changed, to obtain APL chars for example (using fonts the hard way). I don't know if the original could do it, but I had an "Hercules-Compatible" card that had TWO pages for Hi-Res, and you could flip between them those were happy times...
