Twelve slot backplane for RCBus/RC2014 with power supply for 8 to 15-volt input

This backplane is designed to provide greater expansion than the RC2014 8-slot backplane which comes with the RC2014 Classic II kit. It also includes a regulated power supply with an 8 to 15-volt inp…

Documentation

Compatibility

This backplane conforms to the RCBus specification v1.0 for RCBus-2014 40-pin.

The RCBus specification includes RCBus-2014 (both RC2014 standard 40-pin bus and RC2014 enhanced 60-pin bus) and also the full 80-pin RCBus. The 80-pin RCBus provides support for advanced Z80 features, such as the interrupt daisy-chain, as well as support for other processor families.

The Kit

This kit includes all the components needed to make the backplane, as shown in the first picture. Modules shown in the pictures are not included. You will require tools, solder, and cleaning materials to assemble this kit.

Printed Circuit Board

The printed circuit board is available on its own here.

True classic!

You want the classic RC2014 experience with fewer limitations and a more robust default power supply? Look no further. This backplane is quick and easy to assemble, extraordinarily affordable when compared to the original RC2014, and well thought out. The 8-15v power supply is appreciated. The original defaulted to 5v with the option to go 8-15v, and this one just picks the higher voltage standard and rolls with it, making the power supply circuit a nice and compact little section on the board.

There are far fewer pins to solder than on a RCBus 80-pin or enhanced bus standard, making it less intimidating to newcomers, but still plenty of pins to practice on before tackling module work.

I love that this backplane looks nice with all my original RC2014 modules as well as my new Small Computer Central modules! Being able to combine the hardware from each vendor is really empowering.
