Vector-06C ( ) is a home computer with unique graphics capabilities that was designed and mass-produced in USSR in the late 1980s. The frame buffer of Vector-06C is unusual for home computers. The memory is organized as 4 bit planes, palette index of each individual pixel is formed from individual bits in 4 planes. Thus the highest colour mode has 2 4 =16 simultaneously displayed colours. The bit planes are defined as follows: a byte represents a horizontal span of 8 pixels. Next byte in video memory represents a span of 8 pixels above it and so on. Thus a bit plane in 256×256 mode can be viewed as 8-pixel wide columns, growing bottom-to-top, left-to-right; whole screen is thus covered by 32 columns. ==References== ==External links== The most comprehensive resource about Vector-06C: software, emulators, documentation, publications archive Technical Description of Vector-06C by Alexander Timoshenko Archive of Vector User and Coman Info publications on the Emulator3000 site vector06cc: open source Vector-06C replica in FPGA
