Thanks a billion to Dan for posting the technical info about the guts
of Vectrex.  My favorite micro (6809) with a D/a or A/D converter yet!
I and some others had posted queries about reverse-engineering this box
for a graphics terminal or whatever a few months ago.
Could anyone come up with the info needed to write programs for it?
A little disappointed that it uses analog integration (I thought up, but never
built, a similar scheme 10 years ago), but what the heck, it works.

Incidentally, McDade's in Chicago area is saling Vectrex for $99 these days.
Also, the local teen record store chain stocks over a dozen games --
however, they all seem pretty much alike.
When will they do Battlezone?
