'not enough memory' probaby refers to your video card.  If your 'Virtual'
line specifies a screen size larger than your video memory can handle,
you will get this error.  Width times height should note be more than
your video memory size.

I've finally had some success myself with a 90c30.  The numbers that
finally worked:

"640x480" 14 640 672 776 808 480 480 487 504
"800x600" 20 800 832 968 1000 600 600 607 630

The 800x600 mode is slightly left of center so it needs some adjustment.
