running Vezza on avrcpm DIY CP/M computer system

Hi, not sure if a Gitlab issue is the right way to get into contact to the author of Vezza - apologies if this is not appropriate.

I just wanted to report that Vezza is running very well on a CP/M computer I built myself with a ATmega328P (emulating a Z80),two DRAM-chips (256k x 4bit), and an SD card (128 MByte 😃) for mass storage; details on such a build can be found here (in German, however): https://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/AVR_CP/M My computer runs ZSDOS instead of the CP/M 2.2 BDOS.

I am running the build "vezza-RW.com" since my DIY computer only has 64 kByte RAM available and outputs VT100 terminal codes (I am communicating via TeraTerm). If the story files are not too big (I guess ~230 kByte or so is the max. for my system), they are all running well - I tried .z5 and .z8 files I found on the if-archive. The performance is very good and overall the games I tried are very playable. I would be more than happy to test upcoming versions of Vezza on my system...

Many thanks for creating Vezza!

Best, Andreas
