You have to declare that you have a suitable monitor hooked up, in your
startup-sequence, to make the 31.5 modes "available".  You can always
lie to your startup-sequence, but in my experience, monitors don't
care too much if you feed them the wrong signal.  They just look "funny".

I think the "exploding monitors" myths come out of IBM's original monochrome
monitor and trying to program your Hercules card in basic.
