The problem with the blurryness is not so much with the output circuitry as it is with PAL or NTSC composite video encoding. Alternating on/off pixels produces a waveform at just under/over the colour burst carrier on PAL and NTSC respectively, which will fool TVs into producing bars of colour. Unless the board produces S-Video output, which has the luminance and colour information on seperate lines. Need to keep PETSCII around for the gfx characters. Perhaps use ISO 8859-1 instead of the lowercase set?
