I've realised that the *.hex firmware files used to upgrade the vectrix contain readable data.
This is a small fraction of one *.hex file

What kind of codification this is?
Hex - Assembly?
That is machine code.
each 2 letter value is a number in Hexadecimal, and is one byte of data.
Just about impossible to decipher.
I have a copy of some very old versions of firmware source code (.ASM files), PM if you would like a look.
The old firmware revisions are not compatible with the new versions though.
