Zed and Zed Pro
Since the release of the 512k ROM 512k RAM Module, people have been asking for a complete kit running RomWBW. Well, here it is, the RC2014 Zed and RC2014 Zed Pro.
Available with a choice of compact flash or IDE hard drive, the Zed and
Zed Pro also support Ed Brindleys RTC module as well as all your
favourite RC2014 modules like the Digital I/O Module and Pi Serial
Terminal.
The Zed, did, of course, get it's name from the advanced CP/M software supplied on RomWBW, Z-System (pronounced Zee System)

Bus Raider!
For some users, the lack of memory mapped graphics on the RC2014 is an issue. Rob Dobson saw this as a challenge though, and expanded on the Pi Serial Terminal idea with the Bus Raider Module. Not only does this give bitmapped graphics, but allows ZX Spectrum and TRS80 ROMs to run original software!

New Zealand and Australia Meetups
Despite being the 2nd biggest selling hemisphere for RC2014, the
Southern Hemisphere has missed out on RC2014 meetups. Well, that's about
to change! If you're in Wellington, Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane or
Sydney, then there's a RC2014 meetup near you in November!
If you didn't receive an email about this a few days ago and want to be
kept up to date, please let me know and I'll add you to the list.
Details will be sent out in due course, but if you can suggest a venue, please get in touch

Festival and Fest
September was a busy month for getting out and about. The Retro Computer Festival was amazing with some great old relics and friendly faces.
Last weekend was a last minute trip to National Hamfest, which was a new experience for RC2014
A big welcome to all the new subscribers I picked up from these events!
