It is theoretically possible to chain mode 12h in the same way that
mode 13h is chained, but you can access only scanlines 0-203.  I don't
think it's worth it.

Try the 640x480x256 VESA mode instead. It's more flexible, it has more
colors, and it's supported on just about every video card made in the
last ten years.
