+	; attempt vapor lock
+	;  by reading the "floating bus" we can see most recently
+	;  written value of the display

+
+	; Challenges: each scan line scans 40 bytes.
+	; The blanking happens at the *beginning*
+	; So 65 bytes are scanned, starting at adress of the line - 25
+
+	; the scan takes 8 cycles, look for 4 repeats of the value
+	; to avoid false positive found if the horiz blanking is mirroring
+	; the line (max 3 repeats in that case)
