I think the problem is that the memory where you placed your text screen is
not readable (a read will return the ROM contents, not the RAM contents). On
the C64, the cursor is controlled by software. The character under the cursor
is remembered and periodically inverted in the ROM interrupt handler. If the
character at the cursor position cannot be read, you will get erratic results.
