But it does at least give an idea of the suspected ramdomness of RAM at power up. Nothing fancy here just your typical 6 digit display. I was playing around with PAL/NTSC colors and scan lines so the right difficulty switch will change from PAL (A) and NTSC (B).

On my Junior modell it shows always zeroes (except the $EE area were 
the variables are stored). 
20 lines running in PAL:
The last two lines are (as far as i can decipher them):
00 00 03 EC 05 00
F7 00 F7 18 F7 60

Only 17 lines are visible when running in NTSC on my PAL-TV.
