Unfortunately, INIT will not help with your example above, as your picture shows you in the Monitor (program) and needs to be fixed on the Monitor (physical screen).
When entering the Monitor (program) this is entered prior to the Boot sector information so INIT will not help.
Too confusing with different uses of the same word (Monitor) in reference to two different things, one being a program and one being hardware.
If you are fortunate, your physical screen may have a setup via an onscreen setup. Very old ones had a potentiometer adjustment in the back. However I have come across a few modern ones (especially LCD's), where it is not adjustable by the consumer.
Televisions doubling as monitors are convenient for use on these old systems, however they are deliberately over-scanned. As there is no standard to this, it is a challenge when used as a computer monitor where the computer is expecting to use as much of the screen as it can. Studio monitors or Technical monitors didn't have this over-scan or at least had it switchable.
Glad to hear of more interest in the Mighty Microbee, more being resurrected to new life. I really need to come along to one of the user group meetings, may-bee the next one??
