I ran the CHIP48 program (with BRIX) on my HP48 and got the screen
offset problem as well.  I had no luck getting the ON-C reset to
correct the display.  The odd thing about my experiences is that I
have a revision *A* machine!  I therefore don't think the problems are
revision-related, but rather are actual bugs in the programming. 

Even with the bugs, I am impressed with the CHIP48 program.  BRIX runs
at a nice, respectable speed compared to games written in RPL.  If
CHIP48 becomes more stable, I will try my hand at a game or two.
