; This took a while to track down
; On Apple II/II+ the horiz blanking addr are $1000 higher than on IIe
; So on II+ were outside video area, so unlikely to be our set value
; (unless I foolishly use $ff which some uninitialized mem is set to)
; Lots of this color fiddling is to make sure you don't accidentally
; get runs of colors on IIe due to the horiz blank
; 0-5 aqua 6-12 = grey, 13 - 20 = yellow, 21-23 = aqua rainbow 14

; written value of the display
;=====================================================
; See:
; Have an Apple Split by Bob Bishop
; Softalk, October 1982
; 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)
