Probably the best retro-kit available

For SC126 Z180 SBC / Motherboard Kit

I really like this kit. It is a very capable system on a single board. Less overall pins to solder than some other kits and has greater functionality. Other kits too closely follow the MITS 8800 paradigm: You get it together and you have no storage and limited I/O. The SC126 has mini SD Ram storage. Quality is very high, and the CPU provides integrated peripherals. If you are trying to decide which kit to assemble, look closely at this one.

Amazing product, easy build, super value!

For SC130 RomWBW CP/M Computer Kit

Very much enjoyed building this Z180 computer. The sturdy PCB is well laid out, approx 0.070 inches thick, and about 4x4 inches square. Build time was about 3 hours. It has a Meg of physical memory split evenly between RAM and ROM that the Z180 MMU maps into the Z80's logical space (64K). The clock is 18Mhz, so it is quite fast. The PCB has 2 expansion slots that are RC2014 compatible, so you can add RC2014 project boards or backplanes that are available on Tindie. It came with a USB virtual serial port, and an SDCard expansion peripheral that is used as a disk. The RomWBW software includes CPM, a full size floating point BASIC, a Tiny integer BASIC, Forth, and a small monitor so you can explore and play around with the Z180 registers, memory, and I/O The cost was very reasonable at $56USD which included shipping. I live in Atlanta and received the board in less than a week.

The best kit i have.

For SC126 Z180 SBC / Motherboard Kit

Easy to solder (i am 50, and the "new" smd formats are dificult without magnifier, but this was really easy (1 hour and half aprox)

The board is really fast running Z80 code.

Now i want to port MPM to this board.

Super digital I/O Module

For SC129 Digital I/O Module Kit for RC2014

Just another brilliant product from SteveC. Special with this module is that it is accompanying a 4 part article, showing the design from conception to finished product. Needless to say, the product is supported by a detailed assembly guide and instructions on how to use it.

The perfect start on the road to controlling the universe.

For SC129 Digital I/O Module Kit for RC2014

Great little I/O board for any of the RC2014 compatible systems. The kit was a joy to assemble and works beautifully with my SC130 and my SC126.

The assembly guide and all of the documentation is great and will get to a working I/O solution allowing a plethora of cool projects to control from your Z80 beasts.

Well worth the money.
