RC2014 Build: Dual Serial Module
In this series of videos I'll be assembling an RC2014 Pro, a Z80 based microcomputer available for purchase online. I received this as a Christmas gift from Mrs B, after giving her some significant hints as to what I'd like. The RC2014 is a brilliant design IMHO, and will be used by me as the foundation for many of my Z80-based hardware and software experiments. In this video I'm building the sixth module, a dual serial I/O board. As the name suggests, this provides 2 RS232 serial ports. One is used to communicate with a terminal, for example a PC, typically using an FTDI adapter to provide a serial USB connection. The second is spare, and can be used for user projects.
