Indeed. Assuming that I run CP/M-80, that is. This
strikes me as a nice
opportunity to do some hacking, and to maybe start out with that but to end
up with something a little further along, given the constraints of the
hardware (address space, etc.). ZCPR has some nice ideas, for example,
but I'm not sure I like the way some of those things got implemented. Ah
well, first thing I need to do is figure out how I'm going to use it, stuff
it in a box with PS, and hook it up with a serial cable. Then go on from
there.
Doesn't anyone hack into "Freecycle" giveaway TVs anymore for video
monitors? True, they're probably hot-chassis, but an optoisolator or
three will take care of that. My TV Typewriter used an old tube-type
Zenith portable TV for a couple of years until I glommed onto a real
monitor (some surplus Four-Phase units).
