Shipping Policies

Products are normally shipped next working day, however during busy periods this may extend slightly.

Tracked or Tracked & Signed options are available to most locations. This may not get your kit to you any quicker, but it adds peace of mind that you know where it has got to.

It is your responsibility to pay any import duty or other taxes where appropriate.

Important note for European Union customers Tindie is unable to comply with new EU tax regulations, so unfortunately I am no longer shipping to the EU via Tindie, but do sell them through a website which is does handle the VAT and tax payments.

No country selected, please select your country to see shipping options.

good device

For Compact Flash Module for CP/M RC2014 Computer

Works nicely with SC203 kit. Needs to be in close proximity to CPU card due to the reality of the technology. thanks!

An excellent Z-80 starter kit

For RC2014 Pro - Homebrew Z80 Computer Kit

A great bundle of the cards needed to build a respectable Z-80 computer system. This is NOT a Heathkit style kit with instructions to walk you through the soldering of every resistor. You'll need to look at online web pages and apply a little thought as you put it together--for me, that was part of the fun!

Once assembled, old timers will recognize it as a spiritual successor to an S100 system. It's an open bus, and I'm already pondering what cards I can add to its open slots. Maybe an ESP32 one to provide Ethernet and Wifi? We'll see.

I have been having a blast with the kit!

For RC2014 Pro - Homebrew Z80 Computer Kit

I love the idea of this hobby kit and it has been an absolute blast learning about it and building it. Writing code for it has brought back so many wonderful memories.

Thank you for putting the kit together.

This is a great project for anyone using a CPM PC

For Universal Micro Keyboard

I made mine 1 row at a time after installing the CPU. I find it rewarding soldering in rows. I got 4 of these and have used diffrent switches to get a feel for what switches are the best. I like the small metal ball type the best. I will be uploading a 9600 baud version of the Arduino code for my Z80 Membership card.

Very pleased with my Homebrew Z80 computer kit

For RC2014 Pro - Homebrew Z80 Computer Kit

I bought the RC2014 Pro computer kit with a view to running CP/M in order to understand how a minimalist operating system is implemented and to see what it could do in practice. The kit arrived very promptly. Circuit boards were of excellent quality and all components were supplied. Soldering the board together was quite enjoyable, though I did find documentation (provided on the Internet) was a little less comprehensive that I would have liked. For example, I had to explore the Compact Flash storage module with a multimeter to decide which way around to fit the LED. This meant relying on the photographs of the completed boards to solve some of the issues of assembly.

The computer kit worked first time, and was happy to run BASIC. However I couldn't get it to load CP/M, despite best efforts of Google, and because of this I have not given the product five stars. Eventually, I replaced the included RAM and ROM boards with the single '512kROM 512kRam' module board and this solved all problems. I have had to computer kit running permanently for about a week and not discovered any faults or issues. There is plenty of Z80 software available on the net of good quality (e.g. for tracking household expenses I find SuperCalc less 'faff' to use than Excel).

I now have a platform to learn Z80 assembler and hopefully can go on to explore CP/M itself.
