Secret programs

Hi all,

It might be worthwhile to upload a copy of the sfx 26/2 file, for people
not using emulators/star commander.  The disk has a little extra
protection on it in that byte 2 of 18,0 -- the DOS ID byte -- is set to
$45, not the normal $41, so that sector editors run on a real 64 generate
an error 72 when writing to the disk.

Anyways, to get this to work on a real 64 I just changed $0101 in the
disk drive RAM to $41, before writing any data (i.e. track 18, sec 10).

Also, to NTSC-fix the file, change location $C0A8 to $24 after loading :). 

On a different topic, I just hooked up my very first 64 to my normal
monitor, and the display is very different than my 128's display -- the
colors are somewhat washed out, the pixels not as well-defined, etc.
Is this a known phenomena?  It kinda looks to me like the luma and chroma
aren't split -- do older 64s use a strictly composite signal?  Just
curious, as I've never seen this before.  (This is using my normal cable,
my normal monitor, etc.).
