I picked the archives up from a BBS in the very early 90s. To this day, I've
still not had the impetus to try it, despite having numerous examples of Z80
hardware sitting around the house.

Well, this is what people do when they have spare time <g>

Today, I squeezed the QuickTime 6 dlls into my machine and managed to get
xine playing back quicktime movies using libw32codec, which in conjuction
with a 272x160 text console and aaxine spat out the "Matrix: Reloaded" trailer
at a superb framerate. Of course, it lacked the hardware-accelerated scaling
extension, but I'm sure you'll agree it played reasonably fast without using
actual graphics as such.

Screenshots available if I can be bothered and anyone asks <g>
