Look for the file "overscan.zip" (or lzh) at any good/mediocre Atari
FTP site. I did it and it was a complete failure.
Its "big brother" Autoswitch Overscan is pretty cheap, and can be
professionally fitted. Contact "The Upgrade Shop" in Macclesfield
(ask Directory Enquiries for the telno) for details. I think it's around
�30.

Of course - I have broken more ST's by playing with their insides
than anyone.
