TL;DR I’ve been wanting to try emulating some RC2014 stuff using MAME for some time, and I think I’ve found my way into it with the MAME driver for Grant Searle’s Simple Z-80 Machine. Background Back when I was making my TMS9995 on RC2014 system part of my adventure into the lands of TI-99/4A fans […]

May 2020
Inspired by Ken Corless’s #kfcblog I’m trying out monthly roundup posts for stuff that didn’t deserve a whole post of their own Retro I wanted to try out RomWBW, but didn’t fancy going down the route of making more RC2014 modules, so I got myself an SC131 kit from Stephen Cousins.

Retro Computing – Gigatron
I’ve had a bit of a binge on this topic over the past few weeks, putting together some kits that I bought ages ago. My RC2014 came first, and then this, a Gigatron. Why? Ken Boak did a lightning talk on his Gigatron at OSHCamp 2018, and it sounded super interesting. What is it? A […]

Retro Computing – RC2014
This is the first post in a short series (with perhaps more to follow as I go deeper). Why? I came across the RC2104 at OSHCamp 2018 where I got to meet its creator Spencer Owen and make one of his Mini kits with my son. When he put his Full Monty kit on sale […]
