For instance, on my computer with my current settings, "FORX=0 to 255:PRINTCHR$(X);:NEXTX" will give me white background on the block graphics (128-255) instead of black as it should. Also, whne Nitros9 boots, the booting screen never shows the modules loading, because the black/white comes out white/white, all I see is "NitrOS-9" on the screen. Once Nitros9 boots, all is fine.

Possibly. I just had not noticed before and only in the last 6 months it
has showed up.
No problem. Now that I understand how an NTSC CoCo3 works in comparison
to a PAL CoCo3, I'll work around it.
Makes me appreciate the PAL setup better... although we have no
artifacted colors when I attach a composite monitor. I have an NTSC
CoCo3 now and I can appreciate the artifacting which I loathed back in
the 80's on my PAL setup.
