Second attempt at the external 4mb expansion for the #SamCoupe and it works perfectly. Decided to give #JLCPCB a try just because I couldn't bear waiting another month for #PCBWay to deliver to find out if the new design worked, and they weren't too far away on pricing. Placed the order on 26th April, it arrived today. That's not bad going at all.

Catching up with things after nearly 2 weeks of radio silence... real life getting in the way. Quite a Tindie debacle I see, I've toggled on 'Vacation Mode' there as with so much uncertainty and no seller disbursement I feel it's too risky to sell there at the moment.
The products I had listed on Tindie (mainly the peripherals I produce for RC2014 and compatible systems with RCbus style expansion ports) are available direct via my dedicated website:
and also on eBay:

Some of my hardware releases have come about from requests, such as this 2-way ZX Spectrum Bus Expansion to let you connect two interfaces to your ZX Spectrum's edge connector. I've got a few made up in stock ready to ship.

The first part of my 'Money Bags' trilogy for the #SAMCoupe is re-released on the coverdisk with issue 9 of SAM Revival magazine.
Often overshadowed on the coverdisk by the re-release of the massive SAM Coupe version of Manic Miner, Money Bags was my own trilogy of platformer games in the style of Jet Set Willy. Originally written back in 1996 it was designed and coded over one week when I should have been studying for university finals!
Money Bags 1.5, the middle installment but the last to be written, is also re-released on the coverdisk with issue 17 of SAM Revival.
[Magazine coverdisks can also be supplied digitally for use with emulators]

The huge sequel, Money Bags 2, will be re-released again as a standalone title in the very near future, as floppy disk and Trinity SD card editions.

Prototype external 4MB board for the #SamCoupé is marked as shipped from #PCBWay.
