I know this thread is a few years old but has anyone been able to create a monitor/video adapter for the 6085 to a more modern display (VGA)?

thx.

It occurred to me the other night that in order to do this I would need to have an FPGA which has access to memory and, in order to do this, it would need RAM and a RAM bus. So the more I delved into it, the more I realized that I would need a full computer. So the GPIO and Raspberry Pi seem to be the best solution to this issue.
