Eb Farris at ANC computers (surfusa.com) found the answer :-)

these are the modelines which weren't that hard to figure
> ModeLine "800x600"       28.3   800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625
> Modeline "704x600"       28.3   704 704 704 704 600 600 600 600
> Modeline "640x480"       28.3   640 664 760 800 480 491 493 525
