RC2014 Pro Pride and RC2014 Zed Pro Pride

As we head in to June we are celebrating Pride month with two limited edition kits. The RC2014 Pro Pride and the RC2014 Zed Pro Pride. These are based on the RC2014 Pro and Zed Pro respectively and include extra modules, all of which are colour coded in the Pride Flag livery.
Special dye sublimation processes were developed to ensure the right colours were represented, and every component has been evaluated both for its performance and visual appeal. Take a deeper look over at the RC2014 website.
For every kit sold, £20 will be donated to Trans Rescue and £20 will be donated to Rainbow Railroad. Two fantastic charities that do great work for Trans and LGBTQI folk around the world. Even if you don't buy one of these RC2014 Pride kits, please consider making a donation to them.

Liverpool MakeFest

RC2014 is back on tour again at one of our favourite events, the Liverpool MakeFest. This free event is always a good day out for the whole family, so we'd love to see you there on July 1st.
The RP2040 VGA Terminal is based on the Pi Pico VGA Terminal but features Micro SD card support, full size USB and a buzzer. All surface mount components are fitted so it only needs connectors soldering on
The classic 3D Monster Maze for ZX81 has now been ported to the RC2014 by Shiela Dixon. The code is available to run on a regular 32k RC2014 or an RC2014 Pro, but you will need one of JB Langstons TMS9918A video cards to play it.

Micro SD Backpack

PicoTerm now has basic SD Card support for the RP2040 VGA Terminal. If you have a Pi Pico VGA Terminal you don't have to miss out. This neat little Micro SD Backpack gives you the same Micro SD card slot and features!
In case you missed it last time around, the RC2014 compatible products from Quazar are now in stock at z80kits.

This includes the SID interface, the Graphic OLED Interface as well as the ZXTT and ZX-RC2014 Bus Interface
