These modes are carried over from the old IBM PCjr. The Tandy 1000 line
is more PCjr compatible than PC compatiblke (but recent modelshave dip
switches to allow making them more standard)

Here a list of the Tandy PCjr modes:
INT10
	AH =00h
	AL = mode
modes:
...
08h= 20x25 8x8 160x200x16
09h= 40x25 8x8 320x200x16
0Ah= 80x25 8x8 640x200x 4
