I've been running SpinRite for the past half-hour and it has made me aware of a very strange issue with my CGA-equipped 5160 (early style IBM CGA adapter), that being that the display gets a nice (un)healthy dose of artifacts that I can only describe as "multi-colored hyphens" whenever the hard disk controller (original Xebec controller) is writing data to the disk (ST-412). It's honestly one of the more humorous issues I've encountered, though it does get a little annoying after awhile. Thankfully, it only seems to happen in GUI environments.
Has anyone encountered anything similar or have a possible solution? It's not a massive deal if I can't get it sorted out since I probably won't be writing appreciable amounts of data in GUI environment, but I'd still like to sort it out if I can.
