RC2014 Mini II and Mini II CP/M Upgrade Kit

The RC2014 Mini II and the RC2014 Mini II CP/M Upgrade Kit are now available on z80kits. These kits build on the great form factor of the original Mini, but add some great features, such as
Enhanced Bus support, 8k or 16k pageable ROM, a 128k ROM loaded with various options to boot to different versions of BASIC, SCM, CP/M and even FORTH.
The Mini II or the Mini II with CP/M Upgrade have both been designed to work with an optional laser cut enclosure which still allows access to the jumpers you need to get to.

VCF Midwest


Many thanks to Patrick and Darren for representing RC2014 at VCFMidwest earlier this month. From the various videos on YouTube it looks like a great event.
This video from Rudys Retro Intel is not just a great build video on an RC2014 Pro, but has some excellnt usage tips too.

RCF is back again this year at the Centre For Computing History in Cambridge on November 4th and 5th. Once again there will be an RC2014 table, so make sure you come along and say Hi if you're in the area.

Mazogs and 3D Monster Maze

If you have a TMS9918A video card for your RC2014, you might want to play the port of the classic games 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs by Shiela Dixon.
