I posted this request a few months ago but got no replies.

I am looking for a graphic co-processor or CRT driver that is on a single
board and can "plug" into the 68000 socket on a 68000 SBC.  Then the 68000
would "plug" back into the terminal board.  Or I would like to find a plug
in board that offers a standard bus for adding peripherals to my system.
The OEM who made this board is no longer interested in supporting it, and the
long promised I/O bus never materialized.  Currently I am running this
board through a Lear-Seigler terminal which is inadequate for my purposes.
The Lear Siegler is run by a Z80 SBC that also runs the disk drives, serial
ports, and the parallel port.  Ideally I would like VT100 compatibility,
but minimally I need VT52 compatibility.

Does anyone have any ideas about where I might find such a device?  Do
such things even exist, or is this an impossibility because of some
technical problem of which I am unaware?
