Actually we did end up working around it by using the kernal's CHROUT routine instead of writing directly to screen memory. An earlier workaround that we tried was simply changing the background color to something that contrasted with both light blue and dark blue, the defaults at startup. But we didn't stick with that - it took much more space and wasn't as nice-looking.</p> That was it indeed.
