	* Plus ~~pixel by pixel~~ hardware scroll is used.		* Plus soft hardware scroll is used. The left column is also masked by the border.
			* CRTC values are: R0 = 63, R1 = 40, R2 = 45, R3 = 14, R4 = 38, R5 = 0, R6 = 29, R7 = 33
			R0,R1,R4, R5 are normal values. R2 is one less shifting the picture one char to the left, possibly to compensate for the left column being masked.
			R3 defines a horizontal sync width of 14 and a vertical sync width of 16. Normally the vertical sync width is 8.
			R6 defines a screen 4 chars taller than the normal system values. R7 moves the screen up by 3 chars probably to centralise the picture in the display.
