If you were to
convert a raster monitor to a
vector one by replacing
the drive electronics there would be no problem
at
all
Really? I thought vector displays normally use
electrostatic
deflection, whereas raster displays normally use
magnetic deflection.
(And of course no amount of drive electronics work
can add deflection
plates to a tube that doesn't have them.)
