I have an actual paper book [1] describing a bunch of Oak chips,
including the 64107.  But I don't see anything obviously describing the
high-res modes on the 64105/64107.  There _is_ a mode table that ends
with:

Mode	Resolution	Colors
------------------------------
...
5fh	640 by 480	24
60h	800 by 600	16
61h	640 by 400	8
  h	640 by 480	32
  h	800 by 600	32
  h	1024 by 768	32

and no, the missing numbers are not typos, that's how it actually ends.
I'd guess they're 0x62 through 0x64?
