Z80 Kits. Home of the RC2014


Last month saw the launch of z80kits.com
and its fair to say that things have got off to a great start.

Shipping stuff in to the EU again with all the tax and import duty sorted out is a big relief, and DHL make it super quick for delivery too. 

It isn't just European customers that benefit. DHL shipping is also available for USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Brand new RC2014 / z80kits stickers were due in today. Unfortunately they're still in transit, so here's an artists impression of them. I am assured the real ones will be here by Monday in time for any orders to be shipped out!

Retro Computer Festival 2021!

For the first time in two years, the #RC2014OnTour hashtag is being dusted off as we visit the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge for the Retro Computer Festival on October 9th. Please drop by and say hi if you can. You might even get a sneak preview of some exciting new RC2014 hardware ;-)

RetroChallenge 2021 is here!

There's already a great lineup for RetroChallenge this year.  There's already a good RC2014 turnout, but it's not too late to sign up.

Follow along on Twitter, or the RetroChallenge website to see how everyone is doing.
This week the Coding With Culp YouTube channel released this rather lovely unboxing, assembly, and first steps RC2014 video. Well worth watching!
I'm sure you are all aware of Sir Clive Sinclair passing away 2 week ago at the age of 81. Here's a video Computerphile made 5 years ago which probably goes some way to show the influence Clive had on me and the subsequent RC2014 kits. RIP Clive
