On my PS/2 model/30 286 it is possible to use the console in 34 lines (EGA)
or 50 lines (VGA) mode. (and 25 lines ofcourse).

This can be done with the DOS mode command, but I would like to do it
from a C or assembler program. I thought it would be an interrupt to
use to change the screen format, but In the recently published interrupt
list is no such item.

Could someone please infrom me what to do?

Thanks in advance
