6x10...? weren't they all 8x8?
 
my star sg-10 (and i presume all epsoms) had the teletext graphics built in
- i tried writing a teletext screen dump prog to go with the excellent
quo-tel ;-) but couldn't get it working. gave up when au published one about
a month later.

Or 2 colours in Mode 4. I remember designing some 6 by 10 pixel teletext
characters from the User Guide for converting Mode 7 screens on my BBC to
Mode 4 for screen dumping (I didn't know how to dump mode 7 screens.)
Trouble was, you can't divide up the character grid into 3 even pieces for
simulating the chunky mode 7 pixels so my conversion only got as far as
text!

So that'd be a 10k teletext page! in 4 colours!
