What is RC2014?

RC2014 is a simple 8 bit Z80 based modular computer. It is inspired by the home built computers of the late 70s and computer revolution of the early 80s. It is not a clone of anything specific, but there are suggestions of the ZX81, UK101, S100, Superboard II and Apple I in here. It nominally has 8K ROM, 32K RAM, runs at 7.3728MHz and communicates over serial at 115,200 baud.

As a bare minimum, you will need a CPU, ROM, RAM, Clock and Input/Output module. The RC2014 is designed in such a way that you can build your own modules to expand it. As such, if you have access to similar components, or have specific needs, you might not need all the items I have on offer.

What do I get?

This listing is for a kit of parts to build the Digital Output module only. For the rest of the modules, see my other products. This kit allows you to control 3 banks of 8 individual output lines from simple BASIC commands or Z80 assembly language. These lines are bought out on 0.1" header pins for you to connect to your own circuits up to a maximum of 25ma per output pin.

Choose from 2 options:

1. Full Kit - This includes all the components to build up the Digital Output module including:

header pins
chip sockets
logic chips

2. PCB Only - Yup, you guessed it. Only the bare PCB!

All components are new.

Could be a lot better

Delivery was fine. Product completeness was great. Assembly was trivial. Documentation, as always, is terrible. My boards arrived as Rev 2.0. I don't know what rev the boards are that are featured in the online documentation, probably rev 1.0. My boards have a diode synthesized and gate for address decoding; but not a single diode on the schematic. So my schematic does not match my board, should make usage tricky. The design is simple, and I can figure it out, it just would have been nice to have good doc. Other than the doc, the board appears to be a nice one, I haven't figured usage out just yet.
