Stepping Out II from Berkeley Systems, available mail-order for ~$50, MIGHT do
what you want.  It has a magnify mode (and the magnify box can be resized). 
Try it at a store first, and see if it does what you need.  

Additionally, it gives you the capability to shrink the screen image (see more
at a time); you can type and edit in this mode.  Finally, of course, it gives
you a large "virtual screen".  I like it...

There is an INIT that can do this (white on black).  I think it's called
Reverse Screen.
