(David Forster had one theory, which might very well be it)
You might try giving your video-chip a little push. Older ST's have really
low-quality sockets, and even some newer ST's have awful Video & Dma chip-
sockets. (There are a LOT of 520`s out there that give up when you connect
a hard-disk.) Before I changed sockets I had all sorts of problems with
extra luminance in column 0, and often other weird effects.
