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.
