Tandy made an EGA card, the 25-4037, which works fine with a CM-1.
They have been discontinued for some time, but the Computer Centers
have all sorts of interesting stuff kicking around, and (in my region
at least) all the stores have a central inventory list.  I bought my
EGA card for $55.00.  It's a 256k, 16 color EGA card.
