There is a trick that they use to do that.  They use the copper (of course) to
get graphics below 255 vertical lines.  Actually in the NorthStar/Fairlight
megademo II (2) they tell you how to do it (i.e. what you have to add to the
end of your copper list to get that to work).  I'm not quite sure how you go
about viewing it though - would PAL help?

Say, where did  you come by version III?  I imagine it's gotta be incredible
due to the fact that II is almost 2 years old now, and it is still a mind
blower.
