	Is anyone out there interested in helping me reverse engineer
	the Vectrex?  I am going to design a rambox which will emulate
	a cartridge.  I already know the pinout of the connector.  I
	need to disassemble the main rom of the unit, which contains
	8K of code.  Part of this code is the built-in game, Minestorm.
	I also need to know the memory map, but that will fall out from
	the disassembly.  Please reply by mail.

  I am attempting to reverse engineer the Vectrex home video game
system and am looking for information from anyone who has already
done so or is attempting the same.  Specifically at this point I
am interested in the pinouts (or contents) of the on-board Sharp
ROM.  Please mail me any information you have.
  Russ Nelson if you're out there I tried to mail you twice but
have not received a response--if you see this please reply.

There was some activity on the new awhile ago by several people 
reverse engineering the Vectrex for their own purposes.  If any of you
folks read this could you please contact me.  I'd like to try getting into
the Vectrex too.
