Summary	08405: t1000hx, t1000sx, t1000tx, t1000rl, t1000tl2, t1000sl2: Screen corruption when setting screen mode 0 in BASIC
Description	Screen mode 0 in BASIC should enable the 80x25 character screen mode (using 8x16px characters, for a resolution of 640x400), but trying to use it in MAME instead overwrites the screen with corruption and spams the log with "[:pcvideo_t1000] t1000_gfx_1bpp_update_row"
Steps To Reproduce	Boot the computer with Tandy MS-DOS Run BASIC Type "screen 0" then press enter
Additional Information	Before the "t1000_gfx_1bpp_update_row" log spam, the last message is "[:pcvideo_t1000:mc6845_t1000] M6845: Mode Control 02 is not supported!!!"

It doesn't show in the File Manager. t1000rl tries to start some kind of desktop but hangs. I also tried some loose software with mixed success. Please provide the exact steps in how you got your machine to run BASIC.

At the prompt, just type basic, hit enter, and wait a bit for it to load. GW-BASIC 3.20 will load, there you can type "screen 0" (no quotes) and you'll get the screen shown above. OR, just press F10 (with UI controls disabled) at the basic prompt, seems to enter 'screen 0,0,0"? I managed to get a glance of that before the screen corrupted.
