When  booting  ProDOS  8  on  an  Apple  ][+ equipped with a Videx VideoTerm 80
column  card  there  is a short flash on the screen after the copyright message
appears  leaving  a  flashing point in the upper left corner. This only happens
with  version 1.1.1 or higher; older ones are ok. While the "flash" seems to be
a  short  switching  of  video  modes (the card features automatic selection of
video  outputs)  probably  caused  somehow  during the device identification of
ProDOS  I  want  to know if this can be rated harmless or if other memory areas
or hardware switches are affected and in which way ?
