Fair enough. Any really interesting ones to recommend?
Ah... now we are onto something - games... are
there many games for
CP/M that require a video card, or were most happy with whatever sort
of TTY-type device (ANSI codes or not) was out there?
Video card manufacturers often produced games. Probably the most
common target video card was the VDM-1 card... VDM-1 cards require
S-100 bus, or massive hacking. That makes them, probably, outside the
parameters of the "quickest and cheapest" setup you've set.
My SDS Z80 Starter Kit already has two S100 slots built in, so the
only expense to outfit that one is a 100-pin backplane connector.
I'll keep it in mind as an upgrade for later.
