Black Friday - Cyber Monday 2017
So, apparently Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a thing. Who
knew! Well, never let it be said that RC2014 computers don't want
be involved in a thing. So, from Black Friday, through Chicken
Saturday, Sleepy Sunday and until Cyber Monday, you can have 20%
discount on anything in the RC2014 store on Tindie. That's how
this thing works, right? Ok, cool, glad we're all agreed on that!

of Tindie stickers to give out whilst I'm there too :-)

Once again Derby Mini Maker Faire
put on a superb event on 28th October. The RC2014 stand proved
popular, and it was great to see so many RC2014 owners whilst I was

Monitor ROM
If FORTH isn't close enough to the machine code for you, then user Steve
has written a Machine Code Monitor for the RC2014. It includes an
assembler and disassembler, and everything else you'd expect. Full details on his website.

RC2014 Goes Wireless
Those that followed along with the Retro Challenge this year would have seen me live streaming Zork from the RC2014 to
the internet via an ESP8266 Wifi Module. I may not have done
great with Zork, but the prototype Wifi Module worked well.

This newsletter should have been the launch of a Wifi Module
based on the prototype. However, due to a schoolboy error, the PCBs
will have to be redesigned, but should be available before Christmas.
The schoolboy has been fed to a Grue
