In the Vectrex tech description posted last week by the good guys at CMU, it was stated that the D-A could be directed to 4 destinations, including Y and Z (brite) axes. But no X-axis! How does this work? Does the X integrator always ramp up at a constant rate? That would work for many vectors, but a vertical line would require near-infinite slew rate in the Y integrator, and/or horizontal lines would be drawn very slowly. If anyone at CMU sees this, please explain this paradox-- thanks, mike k.
