As always, the modulo is two counts less than the difference between the address of the next word you want to fetch and the address of the last word that was fetched. As an example for horizontal scrolling, let us assume a 40-byte display in an 80-byte "big picture." Because horizontal scrolling requires a data fetch of two extra bytes, the data for each line will be 42 bytes long.

Adding the modulo of 38 gives the correct starting point for the next line. _______________________________________________________________________ | | | Data for line 2: | | | | Location: START+80 START+82 START+84 ...
