Has anyone succeeded in getting any information about the internal
workings of the Vectrex video game (with its 6809 processor)?
I have tried calling GCE (its manufacturer), but they are very closed-mouthed
about the machine.  They claim that its design is proprietary and will
release no information about it, not even a service manual.  In order
to get a service manual, you need to be a licensed service rep (the license
costs $$$) and you need to sign a non-disclosure agreement with GCE.
It seems to me that withholding service information is in violation of
various consumer protection statutes, but then I'm not a lawyer.

If anyone has any info, I would be interested in learning more about this
machine.

Thanx in advance.
