I seem to remember there being different resolutions of Cubs though - 
but I *think* it only affects the display quality rather than the 
resolutions that they're capable of. I'm pretty sure there was a low-res 
model then a medium-res with a slightly finer dot pitch...

In the case of the Master Compact any old Cub will work though :)
