Hmm, ever checked your cable and connectors? Tried these on another
computer? They are good candidates to cause random errors. If for
example one of the data lines is broken you get totally different
ASCII characters out of that transmission line. On the A2000 try to
print from Notepad in text mode or from Shell, this provides simple
character data. If you do a graphic screen dump with the program
GraphicDump and look carefully at the result, you perhaps can detect
a certain faulty bit (if this just NOT happens to disturb the control
sequences for the graphics initialization).
