For what it's worth, the interleaved modes on atari works like this:

The bitplanes are interleaved on 16 bit big-endian word basis so if you
have two bitplanes, bit 0 of the first 16 pixels would be in the first
16 bit word in the display memory, bit 1 of the first 16 pixels would be
in the second word. With bit 0 I mean as masked out by & 0x0001 in C,
and bit 1 as masked out by 0x0002.

The Atari ST line support three resolutions by default:
320x200 4 bit planes
640x200 2 bit planes
640x400 1 bit plane
Okay I have been think about the other modes and can't figure out how they 
would work. Could you do a run down to get my hamster running?
