I think overlays are usable for all what you want to "lay over".

I've seen the same sort of effect when using the 'video overlay' display
option, but only with some video drivers. I suppose the overlays are
designed for video playback, and probably not for the pixel accurate that
SimCoupé uses em for!
If it's still visible when using 'software emulation' or 'system surface',
then there's probably a problem that needs looking at. I've just tried the
following on my system in mode 4, and it appears even in all modes:
FOR x = 0 TO 255 STEP 2 : PLOT x,0 : DRAW 0,173 : NEXT x
btw, are you running windowed or full-screen?

There's no Win9x support for direct floppy access, and as I don't use a
Win9x OS anymore I probably won't ever add it myself. The WinNT/W2K support
does exist, but has been hidden from the UI in the current version, to give
me a chance to tidy it up a bit!
