Cybervision64/3D that just about says it all :)

It's a cybervision glitch, the card does not do some things 'properly' and
has caused problems for the developers of picasso96, as fas as I know the
CV64/3D drivers in P96 are still 'beta' versions and should be treated as such.
I think it had low priority because it already had it's own 'reasonable' software.

One hint for CV64 users, try to avoid using VWait or WaitTOF_ commands unless
really needed, use Delay_ instead. P96 has to poll CV64 cards to get the
'top of frame' info.
