With more capable boards, w/ 64kb RAM.

Now with an extra PCB, for a CF storage module

Description

You find more information about these and other modules on my homepage www.z80.no.

These modules are compatible with the RC2014 eco-system.

This kit consists of 4 modular PCBs (modules) when assembled makes a simple 8-bit computer. The kit is only provided as empty PCBs and does not contain parts or backplane. For a working system, an RC2014 compatible backplane is required to connect the modules together.

If you want to use a Z80 SIO/2 for serial connection instead, you find the empty PCB here. PCB a la carte

The modules are:

The boards can be bought as separate and complete kits

22c - Z80 CPU Module + Clock
33g - Serial Module + Clock, rec 7.3728 Mhz (for terminal communication)
45d - Memory Module, 64k RAM + 32k ROM
10f - Storage Module for CF cards

Both the CPU and the Serial modules can drive the bus clock.

The kit is easy to assemble, and do not require extensive soldering experience. Modules can be replaced and/or added to the system, making it a much more powerful computer. The parts for this build can be obtained cheaply from sellers like eBay, or for a reasonable price from a reputable electronic parts distributor.

Great deal

I'm not sure if I'm going to use them all (probably I will), but this was such a good deal that I needed to have them. I am already using the CPU module. The PCBs are a bit wider than the standard RC2014 PCBs to accommodate for the extra pins. I needed to update my 3D printed case for it (https://gitlab.com/z80a/rc2014-module-cases), but that was easy to do!

Thanks, will buy again!
