I'm afraid all these demos use synched code. As i said (and used in my 
last demo), the execution of some CPU instructions can overlap partially 
with the blitter (it depends on how the instruction fetch words from the 
bus). I'll have to disassemble these demos to check how they start the 
blitter and what instruction come just after, to be sure i'm not missing 
something.
