There was a little program posted a while back which put the ega into 43
line mode.  However, bios int 10, ah=15 get current video state still returns
7, i.e. simply a normal monochrome.  How does one tell that the ega is
currently in 43 line mode?  How for that matter does one tell that the
current monitor is an ega?
