   Can anybody give me pointers on the following:

   1) How to get into 43/50 line mode.

   2) How to tell if I'm in 43/50 line mode.

   3) How to produce 360x480@256 graphics mode on a VGA. This can be
done with a standard VGA, but it isn't supported by the BIOS. I have no
particular desire to try to figure out the CRTC parameters myself when I
know that it's been done before. Especially since errors could be
nasty...

   Thanks.
