<Ummm... must beg to differ here. While the SOL uses the VDM-1 circuitry,

Oops, confused the systems. PT sole a board set that gave a virtual SOL
but at S100 board level. The VDM-1 I have still works nicely in the
Netronics Explorer 8085.

In that case the SOL had the video locked in, that makes the point I was
driving toward move valid.
