Closing in on the issues

- MODE2 works again
- rocks works (atm cannot test 315MHz CPU since this monitor won't sync at 75Hz).
- Screen flicker: see attached zip.

In both clips you can see some flicker (camera/monitor aliasing), but the 50900 does not show the "build up from top to bottom" of the signals. The beta 6 you see this. And this is weird, becausee the writing of these signals happens in between two "framebuffer copy f,n" commands.

clips

Just for clarity: this is the zip I last shared, called LA_24_1.bas. Not LA-24.bas.
In LA_24_1 the screen write routine is faster because it clears the whole signal window, and then writes the signals. The older LA_24 is slower in that it erases section for section, just before writing. And LA_24 does not use framebuffer.

EDIT: or is it simply that the framebuffer copy in beta 6 is much slower ?
