As I already said, there are 3 245-buffers and 1 373-buffer between the Z80 and 
C64. And the 245's are steered by CLK2 thru a 3-NAND-input. The 373 is steered 
by the DOT-clock and that's my mistake I think. Writing this the thought 
occured if it is not my mistake, then you could have a good cause for trouble. 
Lets hope I'll find my module quickly enough. Otherwise I only can ask you, or 
who ever has one as well to check this particular line.

Groetjes, Ruud
