I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but in the Anime-Tion demo
released at the Flag 2000 party[0] the coder talks in the scroller
about measuring VIC temperature through the upper nybble of the colour
registers. Press space when the 26-line scroller asks you if you want
an explanation of the 26-line bug. Apparently tricking the VIC into
displaying the 26th line causes too much current to flow and the chip
can overheat.
