Made a new thing - (available on my store) - a little kit/pcb to connect a pi pico module to the #eZ80 cpu module - to flash and test the module.

@rc2014 I hope you will bring your boat all the way down to us in the colonies. Could you take some cargo for me onto the Americas? ... Been having some challenges with specific part of that continent - you might want to install some Z80 powered cannons on your boat!

Mike Little: the British co-founder of WordPress you’ve probably never heard of (but should)…

In the story of WordPress –the tool that powers 45% of the web, including 10s of 1000s of film sites– Mike Little is Steve Wozniak to Matt Mullenweg's Steve Jobs. Matt polished the interface, the marketing and curly quotes – while Mike added the blogroll, rebuilt the code, and added the one-click easy-upgrade that's been central to its success. But unlike Woz, Mike never had shares in Matt's $7bn business – or even a job there. He didn't know you could make a living from WordPress until he turned up at the first UK WordCamp. He hasn’t been knighted or hall-of-famed, and isn’t known outside of old WordPress developer circles. Is this because he’s a cheerful and easy-going northerner from Stockport? Because he didn’t have a degree? Because he’s black? I don’t know. All I know for sure, is this is someone who anyone in tech, or who uses WordPress, should know about.

After some extensive soldering time I've now got stock ready of all my expansions and peripherals for use with #RC2014 and compatible systems. All the info and to purchase please see: https://2014.samcoupe.com

- SID Soundchip Interface (6581 configuration in stock, use the famous #Commodore #C64 SID Soundchip with your RC setup, or use modern replacement such as ArmSID)

- Graphic OLED Interface (32x128 graphic display)

- ZX True Tone (ZXTT, for use with Ed Brindley's YM/AY soundcard so the soundchip is clocked exactly at the same frequency as the 128K #ZXSpectrum)

- SAA1099P Sound chip Interface (Use the 6 channel stereo sound chip, as used in the #SAMCoupe, in your RC setup)

- RC-ZX Bus Interface (Use RC2014 I/O peripherals on the #ZXSpectrum)

- RC-SAM Bus Interface (Use RC2014 I/O peripherals on the #SAMCoupe)

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
