Subject: S-100 Color Graphics?

I've become interested in playing with color graphics.  Since I have an
S-100 based CP/M system (a Cromemco System Three), I'm hoping to start
with a color graphics card for it.

Cromemco made a card called the Dazzler, which apparently was *very*
low in both color and pixel resolution.  I've also seen reference to
the SDI, which may simply have been the order model number for the
Dazzler.  In either case, these boards have the advantage of being
known to work in my machine.

A quick search of back issues of Byte magazine revealed that the only
other likely choice is a Microangelo, which was produced by Scion, of
California.  They stopped adverising it in late 1983, and started
promoting a similarly-featured board for the IBM PC.  One of the nice
things about this board was that one could install multiple boards to
increase color resolution.  They listed for about $700 each.  

Does anyone have such a board they'd be interested in selling, or know 
where I might locate one?  I'd also be interested in a color terminal 
(slow, but it works).

                               -Jim.
