Details
RC2014 (https://rc2014.co.uk/) is a great platform for building your own Z80-based system running BASIC, CP/M or UNIX (https://github.com/EtchedPixels/FUZIX).
After putting together an RC2014 CP/M rig Chris went digging around in his 80's IC stash and found a bunch of TMS99xx CPUs and support chips. This is the story of the IT archaeology, prototyping and hacking that followed to create a system that runs BASIC and Forth on an alien architecture using standard RC2014 modules and backplane.
Many thanks to G-Research (https://www.gresearch.co.uk) for sponsoring this event by providing both the venue and beer & pizza for attendees!
