*The 132-column text mode requires special software drivers: you should specify PARADISE as the type of VGA
controller. Some drivers are provided by TI, and some are provided by application programs.
++Super VGA modes are not supported on IBM PS/2 8503, 8512, 8513, or 8514 monitors or the equivalent fixed-
frequency displays (the 8503 is a monochrome display). The vertical and horizontal size and position controls on
monitors can be adjusted to display the entire 800-by-600 graphics mode image without distortion.
