Hi,
This is a serial terminal add-on board designed for the RC2014 Z80 computer. It adds VGA video output as 80x25 text (720x400@70Hz) with ANSI / VT-100 terminal emulation, and USB keyboard input. Using a single Parallax Propeller microcontroller running at 80MHz.
Some images of the first prototype board:

Have fun!

That looks like a great addition to the RC2014 system.
But the 'official' variant is still geared towards BASIC, and not CP/M - there's someone with a setup for that though, but it's been a while since I last looked.
This terminal board looks great. Very useful for sure.
