If I remember correctly, if you move the sprites to the left border 
close to where the border begins, the sprites would disappear at some X 
coordinate and then reappear when you move further to the left or right.  
The X coordinate would be somewhere in the $1c0 to $1ff range. You might 
also use double width mode to make the sprite better visible.

This was years ago. I do not think I opened the horizontal borders.  
Opening the horizontal borders would have to be done on every raster 
line, right? I think I just used POKEs from the BASIC. But I do not 
remember observing differences between the 6569R1 and 6569R3. I may 
have, I just do not remember it.
