We say "Einem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul." in Germany,
wich means exactly the same. :-)

Why do you insist on using a MAC, when you obviously have the mindset
of a PC user? ;-)

I managed to compile it with DASM and tried it out on a real VCS.
The problems were:
Your email program seems to wrap the text at column 75, so that some
of the comments spill into the next line.
Labels and equates are case sensitive in DASM. Therefore '.word Start'
does not refer to the label START.
The fine movement is a bit strange on a real VCS, since you didn't
do the STA HMOVE right after a STA WSYNC. (Bradford has posted about
this phenomenon some time ago.)
As Erik has pointed out, there is is a STA WSYNC missing in the
LF0B2 loop, which leads to multible images on a real VCS.
