Tonight's attempted stunt was a failure. I was going to boot my Idun cartridge and interface with my #RC2014 with my #C64U.

There is some arch-ish breakage with the default Idun image where it will happily install bins, but not check dependencies. Fixing this with a pacman -Syu to sync everything up breaks the C64 interaction (sort of the whole point).

It would be nice if the creator posted build instructions so adventurous users could update the RPi's arch linux. There's open bugs about how programs like tmux are broken in similar ways.

Fixed my "Dual Clock Module" this morning. Not one for the eye, but at least It's working again.

Keep your #ZXSpectrum AY tunes accurately pitch perfect! Save £5 this weekend on my ZXTT (ZX True Tone) module. Originally designed for Ed Brindley's AY/YM Soundcard for #RC2014 but easy enough to incorporate into your own AY-3-8910/12 & YM2149 circuits, or hack into other AY Interfaces to feed them the correct 128K clock signal. (I've seen a lot of ZX Spectrum AY add-ons use 1.75MHz which is NOT the correct frequency!)

Springtime is knocking at the door, so we did some very early spring-cleaning 🧹

RC-BOX BBS, the world's first (and currently only) Bulletin Board System to run on real RC2014 hardware (Z80 based Homebrew Kit) utilizing oldie-but-goldie CP/M 2.2 has seen a minor update:

- new "read latest bulletin" prompt after login, skip the bulletin if you don't want to read it / already read it

- fixed total line count at message output

- raised max lines per message from 48 to 64 (at 64 columns per message line)

- added some essential software to the file base (for those brave enough to try x/ymodem downloads).

Visit us using your favourite terminal program. Heck, we have no ANSI so even a teletype will do!

Me apetece montar otro kit de electrónica, estoy mirando el RC2014, ¡pero no sé qué haría con él una vez montado!

I fancy making another electronics kit, looking at the RC2014 but I don't know what I would do with it once built !

My #rc2014 has apparently made it through customs and is in the sorting facility.

I'm seriously pumped to up my soldering game on this bad boy. It'll also be a treat to have a system that makes my C64 look like a leviathan. :P

This is what I see on my living-room TV when someone logs on and downloads a file from RC-BOX BBS
