Any idea what values 0x12, 0x14, and 0x15 are doing here then? This is
a direct quote from SunOS 3.5 /usr/include/mon/eeprom.h, on a -3/260.
/* 0x016 */ char eed_scrsize; /* screen size, in pixels */
#define EED_SCR_1152X900 0x00
#define EED_SCR_1024X1024 0x12
#define EED_SCR_1600X1280 0x13 /* new for hi rez */
#define EED_SCR_1440X1440 0x14
#define EED_SCR_640X480 0x15
