[Coco] ADOS

[Arthur Flexser]

The 4 lines that must be enabled (originally by editing out
apostrophes at the beginning of them) read as follows:

820 IF LL>65 THEN PRINT "ERROR--STARTUP LOGO TOO LONG--MAXIMUM OF 65
CHARS AVAILABLE IF USING BUILT-IN LOWERCASE OPTION--YOU HAVE";LL:END

830 POKE&H2B4C,&H10:POKE&H2B4D,&H2F:POKE&H2B4E,&HF6:POKE&H2B4F,&H18

840 FOR I = &H2168 TO &H217A:READ P$:POKE I, VAL("&H"+P$):NEXT

850 DATA 10,2B,C1,0D,34,02,BD,95,AC,B6,FF,22,8A,10,B7,FF,22,35,82

(I THINK changing the first poke value from &H10 to &H50 gives you a
green border instead of a black one as default.)

The line numbers in your version probably need to be changed to
something else.  This needs to be somewhere after LL is assigned in
line 190, and you need to make sure the new lines aren't being skipped
over on account of some IF/THEN statement.
