I dont think 43 line mode is possible but 50 line mode should be.
(43 line mode works on EGAs, and 50 line mode works in VGAs)

I used to have a short .com program to switch to these modes and back
(real short as it just writers a value to a register.) I dont
have it anymore, but there must be several programs around to do this,
id guess that PCMAG has a utility somewhere......perhaps someone else has
a piece of code they can post........
