Any thoughts on as to > how I can get 800x600? You'll need to get modelines that 1) fall within the spec of your video card and 2) fall within the spec of your monitor. If you are **really** adventurous, and I am NOT responsible for any damage to your display that may result, but you could tweak the monitor values to make 800x600 fit. The PS/2 was out before SVGA, so you could have a VGA-only display that won't do 800x600. I have one of these from a AST 386sx I got in 1991.
