Retro goodness

Happy birthday

To celebrate the 35th Birthday of the spectrum, I have finally started to do some more work on the retro box. Nice metal corners and catches to keep it shut.  

I also now have cp/m working on the rc2014

 

CP/M ready to go?

Ready to have a go at cp/m on the z80.  I now have all the rc2014 modules required to boot!

The sd card reader was a little tricky to solder on, but it seems ok - quick test with the multimeter 

 

Ready for CP/M

I have all the parts I need to start testing the rc2014 and cp/m.

Attention all projects!

Most of my projects have now slowed down or stopped due to 'Project House'. Although my Z80 (www.rc2014.co.uk) has had a couple of new boards built for it.  I'm waiting for stocks of the compact flash module to start playing CP/M!  I have also managed to compile zasm (https://k1.spdns.de/Develop/Projects/zasm/Distributions/) for the Raspberry Pi to use with this project.

2mm scale railway begins

Started the 2mm scale railway. Just waiting on some solder paste and I can start my first bit of 2mm pcb track work. 

 

Learning for Christmas

Made a case for the SenseHat and Pi 3 to learn a bit more about this great hat!

 

Case cover from old MagPi printouts with access to the Pi from the top. I'm looking to cover the Pi using a clear removable cover. 

 

I've used a Hak3r board to mount the SenseHat inside the laptop style case. This will for easy changing to another hat in the future.
