![]() Most USB to Serial adapters will work just fine too, but if you don't already have one, why not add this USB CDC Serial Adapter by 8086 Consultancy to your order Or buy direct from the creator here The RC2014 is designed to work with a standard 5v FTDI cable. Take advantage of file timestamp and more using Z-System with this DS1302 based real time clock. Let the RC2014 interact with the real workload through it's 8 switch inputs and 8 LED outputs. Please see my Other Products for the full list) If ordering a RC2014 Zed or RC2014 Zed Pro Kit, you may wish to add optional extra modules with it, which will work out cheaper if ordering from this page, as well as saving you postage. You will need to supply your own USB power adapter (500ma or higher) and an FTDI cable connected to your PC/laptop Optional Extras It is assumed that you have your own soldering equipment (entry level soldering kit is sufficient), and have at least beginners experience. Simple assembly guide is included, and more detailed info available on the RC2014 website. The RC2014 Zed and RC2014 Zed Pro Kit includes all PCBs, sockets & headers, ICs, pre-programmed ROM, passive components and USB power lead. However, for a complete computer kit, buying the RC2014 Zed or RC2014 Zed Pro will work out cheaper. If you are looking for a cheaper, simpler RC2014, take a look at the RC2014 Mini, RC2014 Classic, RC2014 Plus or RC2014 ProĮach of the modules are available individually if you are upgrading an existing RC2014, or have non-standard requirements. To find out more about CP/M 2.2 or Z-System, see the RomWBW documentation on Github With 512k RAM and 512k ROM split in to 16k pages, you should never find yourself running out of memory either. RC2014 Zed and RC2014 Zed pro run RomWBW, which include both an original CP/M 2.2 operating system and also Z-System which is an enhanced CP/M clone that was written specifically for the Z80 (as opposed to 8080 for CP/M) which runs all original CP/M, and adds several useful additions. Alternatively, you can use a Pi Zero Serial Terminal to plug in directly to monitor & keyboard. This can be accessed through an FTDI cable and a terminal program (PuTTY, TeraTerm, Screen, etc) on your PC or laptop. When assembled, the RC2014 Zed boots in to either CP/M 2.2 or Z-System. All components are through-hole, except for the compact flash socket which is pre-soldered. The Compact Flash Module includes a blank CF card, but you will have to provide your own IDE hard drive for use with the IDE Module.Īssembly of the kit is very straightforward for anyone with basic soldering skills. ![]() The RC2014 Zed Pro consists of the following modules Īlthough not strictly required, either the Compact Flash Module or IDE Hard Drive Module are recommended for storage. The RC2014 Zed consists of the following modules The RC2014 Zed Pro consists of the same modules, but supplied with a 12 slot enhanced backplane ![]() The design is simple, and the standard 0.1" pitch headers encourages building your own add-ons. The backplane allows expansion modules such as official RC2014 Modules or a selection of 3rd party "Designed for RC2014" modules. It runs Z-System or CP/M 2.2 operating system from ROM and uses either compact flash or IDE hard disc storage. ![]() It has a Z80 CPU running at 7.3728MHz, 512k ROM, 512k RAM and communicates over serial at 115,200bps via a Zilog SIO/2 UART. The RC2014 Zed is a modular computer with an 8 slot standard backplane. They are not a clone of anything specific, but there are suggestions of the ZX81, UK101, S100, Superboard II and Apple I in there. RC2014 is a range of homebrew computer kits reminiscent of what was available in the late 70s / early 80s.
