Mildly off-subject but a few years ago there were
5" (or so) mono analogue

a millionaire), 12V DC or a wall wart. I find one to be very useful on the workbench
when repairing home micros and the like, you can reaad 40 columns on it, and it
is small enough not to get in the way. No idea where you'd find one now.
I've got one somewhere. I've also got a successor - a little TFT monitor
intended as a reversing camera monitor for cars. Runs from 12V, takes
PAL or NTSC composite in, good enough to read 40 columns (at least) and
maybe 80 too.
One of these days I should feed it Mode 0 from the Master 128 and see
what happens...
