They probably had a vector scope...that's the easiest way. But there are
several ways to do it with just a regular old oscilloscope. One could
also build a test jig that sits between the atari and a TV. I guess I'm

I don't know if it's documented. But I remember someone telling me that.
It might have been Joe Decuir? I really can't remember. At any rate,
it doesn't make sense to add that last color, if it wasn't useful.
