The PicoBoot Troubleshooting tips say that this can be caused by either a faulty SD2SP2 adapter or your SD card isn't set up correctly.

Options for A2Heaven RAMWorks RGBS to HDMI
It's very DIY, and doesn't see much love from the Apple community, but RGBtoHDMI has a great support community. It seems that Raspberry Pi Zeros are back on the market again, too
- Just found for $20 at a yard sale. I believe it works but have no idea what I have here, any sleuths that can provide details?

RGBToHDMI works on a lot more systems. https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI/wiki/Supported-Computers has the full list but it's pretty much all 8 and 16 bit computers.

288p50-capable monitor in the US?
My advice is to forget about trying to find a monitor that will accept the signals directly and just get an upscaler instead. Depending on the computers, you may be able to use an RGB2HDMI, or you could use an OSSC with a CGA2RGB to convert TTL RGB/monochrome to analog.

Portland, OR - Need an 80c C=128 monitor..
Just to expand your options a bit, you can also use a 15 kHz analog RGB monitor (Amiga monitor, PVM, modded consumer TV, etc.) with a CGA2RGB, or an HDMI monitor with an RGBtoHDMI.
