- Nothing to do with the 1438, all multisync monitor will produce the same
- effect. Lots of games make the assumtion that the system they are about
- to be used on are using PAL or NTSC screens, so when they open and are
- greeted by an 'alien screen mode they go nuts. Solution, download
- Embedder II from Aminet and carefully read the docs. Between embedder
- and the standard CPU command you can sort out 99% of all screen
- corruption problems.

- later...
