A lot of them; CGA is *easy* via Pat Swayne's 'ZPC' program, 'Sextant' magazine
showed how to alter ZPC to do EGA *AND* (thanks to Travis Barfield) Z-100 have
the capability to show 640X480 in _512_ colors, sometime this century ibm-ish
things *might* catch up.  That's sufficient to show *four* standard VGA images
simultaneously (remember, *real* VGA is (chuckle) 320X200 in only 256 colors).
It is, however, a shame to degrade Travis's board in that manner...

'Sorry', for what?  You obviously are aware of the hardware superiority of the
Z-100 over the rest...
