Back in the day, I may or may not have known that SCREEN 0,0 and SCREEN 0,1 toggled the alternate color of the 32 column VDG screen.

I wrote about this a few weeks back:

Recently, Roger Taylor mentioned something about colors being different on the T1 version of the VDG found in the "Tandy" labeled CoCo 2s. I was unaware, so I explored a bit:

A part three will follow shortly…

I never knew the black border could be turned off on a CoCo 2.
