Why does Apple state that the SE/30 supports 512 x 382 video? https://support.apple.com/kb/sp195?locale=de_DE
(underneath it does say that the number of lines on the physical screen is 342) Every other source (and the Mac itself) says that the resolution is 512 x 342 with no mention of 384.
I'm really curious about why 384 is used here at all. Is it just that claiming the extra lines was a good spec for sales to quote, in the same way other manufacturers might go on about 4096 colors even though that might be only in one screen mode you would never normally see? Is there some way for the SE/30 to generate 512 x 384 on an external screen? But if that is true how does an external screen connect with no hardware?
