Sadly both the display technology and the graphics memory are raster. I was hoping it would be something like the Vectrex or the Imlac.

My funniest Vector 3 repair was a client running Memorite (for lawyers a kick ass word processor for its time, think daisywheel monospace Courier/Elite printers) where the spelling of words flipped 'off by 2 letters' on the display as they edited. I knew the mapping for the S-100 memory card by heart and all the memory chips were in sockets, so I was able to go right to the chip in question and re-seat it to show them it ended the problem. Then I re-seated them all. Great work for a 16 year old! Thanks, that PDF is a trip down memory lane. Display memory was indeed coming from 0hE000-0hFFFF. I taught myself Z80 from the Vector 3 manual. The whole BIOS source code with comments!
