Hi Ruud,
The visual errors seem to indicate that there is a bus problem with the
VIC-II chip, i.e. the CPU doesn't shut down properly when the VIC-II takes
over the bus, and then reads some crap. And with both chips driving the
address bus, it is clear that the CPU crashes. I don't know if the '816 is
able to tristate it's address lines like the 6510 does. How do you handle the
CPU shutdown?
