Damn amazing !!!

Especially the fact that he used a Vectrex as monitor and improved the deflection hardware so it had enough speed to handle Asteroids :)

So, we can use Vextrexes as test monitors after all ;)

Wow...
Very well documented Site. Great Idea, especially the real PCB on the Rear under Plexi.

Pman (on UKVAC) did some experiments years ago with using a vectrex monitor as part of a test rig and I think it was technically possible but just easier to use a real monitor or scope ;)
