Easter Bunny Visits RC2014


I know some of you are big fans of the RC2014 Easter Egg Hunt. Well, the Easter Bunny has been back to visit RC2014 Towers, and has laid eggs all over the place. Some of them on products on the Tindie store, or on Twitter, or the Google Group and even on Instagram! Each one of these eggs has piece of a discount code which will get you a 20% discount on RC2014 products over the Easter weekend. Look out for clues which look something like this

MSX Compatible Boards for RC2014

In the last newsletter, I linked to Deans project to get MSX compatibility on his RC2014. Well, those boards are now available for anyone else to buy. Check out his store on Tindie  

Short Shutdown From Tuesday

I have been called up for Jury Service starting on April 6th, so will be putting the RC2014 Tindie store in to vacation mode from this date. Normally this lasts for a week or two, and I will be reopening as soon as it is possible. Appologies for any inconvenience

Would.You.Like.To.Play.A.Gamee

Jerry from Mr Gelée's Tech recently launched the MG005, a SPO256-AL2 based speech synthesiser that gives your RC2014 the ability to talk. Now, how about a nice game of TH/ER1/MM/OW/NN2/YY1/UW2/KK/LL/IY/YR WW/OR?
We're a big fan of NCOT videos here at RC2014 Towers. And big fans of Quazars OLED Graphics card too. So what's better than a video combining the two!

Get well soon Kim!

Kim Le Brocqu, founder of the RC2014 User Group on Facebook, and all round good guy, is currently going through a hell of a time. In February he was admitted to hospital with Covid Pneumonia and various other complications. He is still in hospital and has since suffered a stroke. On behalf of the RC2014 community, we all wish you a speedy recovery Kim!
