Wow, that is really old. Many thanks for tracking that down.

Does that also mean that the 300k limit can be lifted? it is still there.

When not using VDI mode, Hatari (and also TOS) uses a screen buffer size of
0x8000 bytes. Since the actual screen size then in all resolutions is only
32000 bytes, that already includes a gap of 768 bytes.

I would bet that the vertical limit is restricted to not exceed the screen
height, but in the horizontal direction you may need to read an additional
word, and the logic only masks the values out if it is out of screen bounds,
but the read is still performed.
