SC132 is a two channel asynchronous serial port module designed for the RC2014 bus.
This module is based on the Z80 SIO/0 chip which is currently more readily available than the usual SIO/2 chip. It is software compatible with the SIO/2 and thus with existing software.

Today, I finally received the batch of PCBs I’ve been waiting for from China since January 14.
These boards are for my prototype pocket RomWBW system.
I’ve got a few tweaks and some testing to do and then I intend to offer it as a kit. I plan to offer a choice of case colours and a choice of front and back panel colours.
Specifications:
I have recently built one of Marco Maccaferri’s VGA serial terminal modules and documented the experience.
SC130 is an easy to build, low cost, Z180 RomWBW Computer. The kit comes complete with serial adapter, USB cable, and a micro SD card adapter. Just add a micro SD card for storage and a computer running terminal software, and you have a complete system able to run CP/M software.

SC129 was the example used in the recent “Design” series.
In part 1 of this series we took a very quick tour through the whole process of designing a product. In part 2 and part 3 we designed the electronics for a digital I/O module. We will now design the circuit board.
