- I am quite sure it's not the Phoenix 80386SX ROM BIOS that is the cause
- of your extended video modes from working. It's probably your video BIOS
- (which may be or not be) which is the culprit or that your hardware just
- doesn't work right. I don't think it could be the monitor, since 640x400x256
- is almost like text mode timings for the display, but with more colors.
