Please note that when I said the above (the ">>"-quote) I mean that it's
easy to change the size of the console/terminal *itself*, but not
necessarily on the physical device it's displayed on. So, if Steven Moore
has hacked vconsd to work on 4-plane colour on the Falcon, there should be
no problem to get this working in TT-med as long as somebody write the code
to set the TT-shifter to this resolution.

I have both a TT and a Falcon, if somebody can tell me where I can find
Steven Moore's vconsd I can have a look at it and try to get it working in
TT-med.
