In Mathew Lodge's articles about the new hardware in the STe, he detailed address $FF820E as "Line offset (LINEWID) - the number of extra words added to the address counter at the end of each line ..." I have had absolutely no success in using this register. I have tried putting in all the different values I can think of, but the output doesn't change at all. I could understand the display being incorrect, or skewed if I put in a wrong value, but when absolutley no change occurs, I assume I am using it incorrectly. I am accessing it using 68000, basically by going into Supervisor mode and storing a value at location $FF820E. So, is $FF820E the wrong location, or have I just totally misunderstood what this register is supposed to achieve? Thanks for any help Marcus
