RE: Display Corrector

Clay's board doesn't affect the linearity, it changes the bowing.
It changes the output of the x signal based on the strength of the y signal.
You can see the same feed back circuit in the output section of tempest,
space duel, gravitar, etc.

What I meant was "Why do you need the linearity adjustments that are
built-in
on the MH board as well as either your display corrector or the tempest =>
MH
board?". Since the MH and Star Wars apparently already have the linearity
controls, how do you gain anything with the display corrector? Or are the
amplifone-made cpu boards unable to adjust enough to straighten out the
lines?
(not trying to bash you.. i am just curious :) I'm assuming that it just
won't adjust enough or maybe it doesn't affect enough of the display?
