- I had/have this same problem with my C-128. I have the 16K video subsystem
- and I was never able to resolve the problem. I have since moved up to Amiga's
- and had forgotten about this 'small' problem. I would still like to get it
- fixed... I'll look through my tech notes to see if anything ever came out on
- the problem but I don't think anything did. If anyone out there happened to
- stumble on a fix PLEASE tell the net. Even though I mostly use my Amigas I
- still use my 128 occasionally and would like to fix this.

- Kendall.
