I made some progress updating the pld code for my turbo cpu module. The CPU can now be overclocked a little. Details in the latest 3 postings on my blog

And the next module is
....drum roll please........
The Stegosaur #MSX #YM2413 Music Module for #RC2014 / #RCBus
A perfect match for the GAME module, with its improved sound quality and stereo mix. Check out my blog post:

A made another module. A new 'smaller' module based on the #YM2149 sound chip. And by popular demand, I implemented the 'golden ratio' stereo mix! A full wall of retro sounds coming at ya!

My next #RC2014 / #RCBus module is now listed. This is a #Z80 based module that dynamically boost the CPU speed to 20Mhz when not doing any I/O - so lots of compatibility with stock Z80s modules - but a little bit faster.
No need now to be a slow dinosaur.

I have a new #RC2014 #RCBus module. It's part of what i hope to be a new series of module - similar to the Yellow #MSX, but with a more conventional height.

And available now in kit form from my shop: https://shop.dinoboards.com.au/product/stegosaur-msx-v9958-rgb/
I haven't got time to play with this card any further, but here's what I really like about the interoperability of #rc2014 and #rcbus.
This card is designed by Jerry Frost (MG013), it's running on a board by Steve Cousins (SC126), to a interface standard by @rc2014 and with a ROM by Wayne Warthen (RomWBW).
And it bloody works.
