Two questions



Hi,

First question:

I'm a newbie to electronics, but I have been programming several
assembly languages for nearly fifteen years now.  I thought it
was about time for me to learn what goes on underneath the hood
now. :-)

I recently ordered the AT90S2313 Development Board from Futurlec
(http://www.futurlec.com/ATDevBoard.shtml) and I'm really
looking forward to start playing with it.

Now, my question is: Is it possible to connect some sort of a
video output device to such a card?  Okay, maybe not exactly
this model, but at least something similar?

My goal is to learn enough to create my own pong game.

Can someone please give me some pointers to what to read, where
to begin, etc?

Second question:
I have obtained a "mystery card" which I have no idea what is :-)
I've posted questions about it on other groups, but no response.
It's a full Z80-based motherboard produced by Matrox (Canada) in
1981 and it's named CTM-100/300-GE.  I have a picture of it here:

Any ideas?

Thanks
Stian
