Hi André,

It's still not clear to me why different register settings were required 
for 60/50mhz versions when the PET board and monitor operates on DC. Is 
it just to avoid minor artifacts due to ripple on the supply? Also, are 
the register sets independant of the monitor size? I would assume that 
all 80 column machines had 12" displays, but are the registers actually 
setting the machine up for 80 columns or setting it up for a 12" display?
