 ---------------------------
Information:
The Commodore PET 8296 demo.
This production uses a new graphic mode - called Mode2.
The Mode2 offers you more than one shade of green.
It is of course no interlace.
In Mode2 the characters are mirrored and wider.
It is quite easy to create the Mode2:
When the contents of a line no longer fit on the screen, 
the raster beam appears to draw from right to left, even when rewinding.
It is faster when drawing backwards, which is why it gives a dark green.
Therefore, the characters are also wider.

I tested the Mode2 on 2 Commodore 8296 and a Commodore 8032 and there were no problems.
But use the Mode2 at your own risk!
