Just playing with BG stuff here, and it all buggers up under PAL. 

Screen refresh suddenly dies to ZX81 rates. Also, does the BG display
size have any effect?

BG scrolling (etc) works under NTSC ok.

Incidently, silly question, but is the valid pal display area 256 high
or 248? I only ask because some of my code insists on using the area
0-247 and no more.  Is it just me being extremely stupid and setting
up some display stuff wrong? It must be. Shoot me please someone.
