i wrote a famicom disk system test program that attempts to read more data from disk during the initial/boot cycle
it works on most emulators and an fdskey, but it keeps failing in... interesting ways on a real disk/drive
(sometimes it also corrupts/blanks the screen graphics and plays sound)

wanting to figure out why it breaks like this, the outcome is different every time (and sometimes it does Nothing special and just fails)

Perhaps you're interrupting some existing drawing routine? Or you don't setup PPUCTRL properly to write horizontally.
