There  are  annoying  thing  on some new (ESCOM AG) AGA machines - strange
video  effects,  caused  by  a bug in video controller.  It are flickering
stripes,  what  appear  progressively  on  the 28mhz (PAL shres, Multiscan
hires)  screen  during  electricity warms the machine.  It appears only if
RGB   color   (24bit)   have  23-24bit  set  -  e.g.   RGB=255,255,255  or
RGB=255,255,127.  Most programs have palette preferences and colors can be
setting   in  any  values,  but  some  programs  (e.g.   picture  viewers,
ShapeShifter, etc.) haven't this option.

There  are  several software solutions - programs for correcting colors on
the  screens,  but  these  programs  trashes  palette  and  don't  work on
non-system stuff.  It is not very effectively...

Now we have very effective hardware solution.  Simply connect together two
pins of resistor E127R on A1200 board.

Big thanks to Alexander Bogdanow for info.
