Finally back in Devon after the #RC2014 Assembly 2.0 yesterday. Thank you to Spencer & @tnmoc.bsky.social for hosting & organising, all the speakers & exhibitors, as well as everyone I talked with. I hope you had as much fun as I did and that the #PicoMZ was of interest! #RetroComputing #RetroGaming

My table at the RC2014 Assembly 2.0 at The National Museum of Computing, Bletchley Park, Saturday 26th September 2026. On the left is the Pico MZ running the game Painful Man. In the middle is an RC2014 configuration running CP/M. On the right is a real Sharp MZ-700, also running the Painful Man game.

It works! I now have my badge ready for the #RC2014Assembly v2. When is it on again? Oh wait... :)

(btw to change to the second line from BASIC you need OUT 218,192 - ie OUT $DA,$C0 or writing b1100000 to the control register)

More info on them on my dedicated website for my peripherals for the #RC2014 / RCbus / Compatibles (including the Feersum #MicroBeast, or even the #ZXSpectrum via my ZX-RC Bus Adapter)
2014.samcoupe.com

(currently 10% off just about everything, I'll keep that active for another week!)

And don't forget about my other #RC2014 / RCbus & compatibles sound antics!
2020 - released my SID Soundchip Interface to bring the famous #C64 soundchip to more #Z80 systems.
2021 - released my ZXTT module, for Ed's YM/AY RC2014 soundcard, to clock it identically to that of the 128K #ZXSpectrum.

SID Soundchip Interface for the RC2014 and other RCbus systems. Bringing the sound of the famous Commodore 64 to more Z80 platforms.

ZXTT (ZX True Tone) - a module to fit Ed Brindley's YM/AY soundcard to clock the soundchip to the exact frequency of the 128K ZX Spectrum so speccy music can play pitch perfectly.

Brilliant stuff @flatduckrecords.co.uk!
For anyone interested I've got my SAA1099P sound cards for RC2014/RCbus & Compatibles available in stock. Currently listed with a few pounds off and a few pounds to charity -> www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11741113...

Just finished testing my dual #PicoMZ and Sharp MZ-700 setup for the #RC2014 assembly 2.0 next weekend. All bits required are now safely boxed so that I don't forget anything (famous last words). Looking forward to it - I hope to see some of you there?

I've added more tunes, *now* it's a jukebox.

Hmmm not sure what my first kit-build computer was. First "computer in a box" was probably the #rc2014 in 2020 which now feels pretty recent!

Guess it depends on the definition. Over the years I have done a bunch of breadboard computers for eg. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCx3...

Now got the basics of the @samcoupe.com OLED Display with a #m68k CPU. Just struggling with bit-wrangling on the 68k. #rc2014

LCD Module running happilly on one of Stephen's backplanes. So far so good. Except it's being driven by a #x68000 #m68k CPU. What witchcraft is this? #rc2014
