Used in a beyond repairable Amiga 500 with a Raspberry Pi. Great to use with an emulator or any other OS. It's the biggest Raspberry Pi case I have in my collection now, but easily the best looking and most practical.

Works as a charm!

For USB conversion kit for Amiga 500 keyboard

Purchased the kit, got it a few days after. Installed it as seen on the product pictures and thats it - nothing to add/change/install. It simply works as it should.

ZX Spectrum USB keyboard

For ZX Spectrum USB keyboard conversion kit

Bought this to pair with a brand new ZX spectum replacement kit (white keyboard and faceplate). Works great with MacOS (FUSE emulator) out of the box - very simple to set up. Great packaging and product.

Adapter that works very well.

For TI-99/4A USB keyboard conversion kit

Used this on one of my TI-99 Keyboards with a PC and then a Raspbery Pi3 and both worked fine.
Well made and easy plug together setup.
Power LED works nicely too.

Great little board, easy to assemble

For Z80 CPU, Clock and Reset Module for RC2014

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Provides a better reset implementation and allows you replace the original processor and clock modules with a single card

Works as intended

For Commodore 64 USB keyboard kit

Put mine in an empty C64 shell. Got it working with a C64 mini inside as well. Very happy with the results. Cheers!

Brilliant product!

For Atari 400 48K RAM Upgrade (DISCONTINUED)

Bought a pre-built kit as I'm never too confident with my soldering skills.

Installation was fine. I just took my time and read the excellent provided documentation thoroughly several times before starting.

Tested first with just the board and got 32K then after soldering the 4 wires got the full 48K. The 400 motherboard is quite spacious and the soldering was pretty easy even for an amateur such as myself.

The Atari 400 was my first Atari 8 bit as a kid. I love it and it's so iconic but very limited with just 16K. This kit takes care of that perfectly!

I had a couple of questions after the installation and received pretty much instant helpful support.

The best USB joystick adapter

For 9 way D USB joystick adapter

There are several adapters on the market to chose from and I selected this one for its superior engineering and its designer’s commitment to 8-bit engineering.

USB overdrive on Mac OS X sees both ports of the dual adapter as gaming ports and let’s me map the keys in my emulators to each joystick.

The cool form factor of the dual adapter is ingenious.

the minstrel zx80 keyboard pcb

For Minstrel Tactile Switch Keyboard

This is another quality product from Tynemouth Software. The minstrel keyboard PCB is well made well designed mini keyboard, designed for the Minstrel zx80 clone. It will also work on the RC2014 and ZX81. You can even adapt the keyboard for your own designs. Overall it's well worth the money and built to last

Great product, well put together

For VIC20 Diagnostics Loopback PCB

The kit was very easy to assemble with the instructions provided; a small amount of soldering was required and all of the necessary parts were included. The product is well put together and worked straight away, exactly what I was hoping for.

The perfect Atari ST revival kit

For Atari ST USB keyboard kit

Used it on a dead Atari 520STF, it has been directly recognized as a standard keyboards with all the shortcuts a modern keyboard is able to do. There even is no or very few input lags that allows to play video games on it. I have been trying for five years to find a solution to revive my dead 520STF, well here it is.

Deluxe Atari 2600 Composite Mod

For Deluxe Composite Video Mod

If you have an old Atari 2600 hidden in the loft or out in the garage, bring it out and grab one of Tyenmouth Software's Deluxe composite mods, you wont believe the clarity on the picture not going through RF but composite, it gives the old Atari a new lease on life.

You'll need intermediate soldering skills as there are components that need to be removed but its a perfect result! My Atari 2600 Jr is a rev F board so there were some differences from the instructions but easy to trace and extra parts removed, but did I mention that result!

Honestly this is the best and inexpensive way and very professionally put together mod, a huge thanks to the fine folks at TS, Highly recommended!!!!

Jason | Aug. 31, 2018

Works perfectly

For Commodore 64 USB keyboard and dual joystick kit

Just a few things:

1) Make a large bracket which can screw into the holes of the case as well as the board. Plugging in a joystick is harrowing because the double sided tape isn't strong enough to hold against the lateral force
2) Make an IO shield
3) Make a POWER switch for it.

Response from Tynemouth Software | Aug. 31, 2018

Thank you for the suggestions. What form would the power switch take? a soft switch button or an actual switch, and what sort of connection, micro USB or just a pin header?

Krzysztof | Aug. 29, 2018

Minstrel ZX80 is an amazing piece of hardware, and the seller is very polite and helpful. Definitely the best ZX80 clone around!

Works exactly as described

For Amiga 600 / 1200 USB keyboard conversion kit

I’m using this product with a U.K. Amiga 1200 keyboard, Raspberry Pi 3 and Amibian running Amiberry. Select Generic USB U.K. layout keyboard in Raspi-Config in Amibian, and U.K. layout under Workbench 3.9 and it is perfect. Great product, excellent service and speedy delivery to the Mississippi Gulf Coast!

Very High Quality and does exactly as it says on the tin ..

For USB conversion kit for Amiga 500 keyboard

I decided to wait until I finished my Project before writing my review and all I have is praise for this product.
A very professionally made unit and comes with everything you need including cable and plastic mounts. The keyboard is flawless and F12 has even been taken into consideration for Winuae using the \ on the Keypad to emulate F12, The Joystick ports work out of the box with Winuae giving you the feel of a real Amiga when Gaming..... For me its flawless I now have an Amiga / Windows Deskop PC ( Something I have always wanted )that will play Amiga games including AGA and be an everyday work horse .. I will be ordering more as it seems the whole family now want one. I posted a few pics to show you what I used it for..

This for me is better than the Keyrah's . Much more compact

For Amiga 600 / 1200 USB keyboard conversion kit

Right now its and Amiga 1200 USB keyboard until I can find a Motherboard small enough but because of the way it fits I get the full base to play with. I Didn't actually get any documentation but wasn't to difficult to work out so I haven't rated that and I haven't needed to contact either.
All worked as expected. Some may say expensive but very high quality and where else would you get one. Well worth every penny in my opinion.
Ordered the Amiga 500 version and am eagerly awaiting to finish the project .. Even a Keyrah cant do an Amiga 500 :)

Karl Albert | March 28, 2018

Great CPU card

For Z80 CPU, Clock and Reset Module for RC2014

This is a great CPU card. I received this card with all parts supplied and a very detailed assembly description.
It has been working flawless in rc2014. It is a good idea combining the cpu and clock module, saving 1 slot.

Thomas | Feb. 9, 2018

Designed to Actually Fit!

For Amiga 600 / 1200 USB keyboard conversion kit

I had purchased the Keyrah but it died in just a few days and I'm convinced it's because the ribbon had to crimp and turn in order to get over to the joystick ports (I placed it where it should go over on the right side of the A600). So I took a chance on this product mainly because it fits the ribbon without any crimping. Works great! Adheres to the back of the keyboard perfectly and it just works! It is more expensive but it seems like a much better product (not to harp on the keyrah guys... that thing is kinda nice too but it's really made for a C64).

Andrew | Jan. 30, 2018

Great product.

For Minstrel 2 - ZX80 Clone

I haven't had a chance to assemble the clone as yet, but that really won't effect the review.

Very impressed with the turn around time, ordered in the morning and was dispatched the same day, great service from a smaller supplier. Arrived a couple of days later, very well packaged in the a small box with plenty of bubble wrap and anti-static bags.

The board looks great and of high quality as do all the components.

Really looking forward to putting it all together.

Great product, well documented, fantastic!

For ROM/RAM replacement board for Commodore PET

The board is carefully designed, packed and includes a good manual. I could find a defect PET ROM in 30 minutes. Thank you :)

Kim | Sept. 17, 2017

The board that speaks for itself.

For Z80 CPU, Clock and Reset Module for RC2014

This is another great product by Tynemouth Software for the RC2014.
delivery was really fast and well packaged in an a5 box. all components was in an ESD bag and there is a panphlet which compliments the build nicely. Tynemouth Software not only shows you how to build the CPU and Clock Module, he explains how it works too with the schematic diagrams takes you on a tour of the board. Great for novices branching out into the build yourself a retro computer.

the board has bright silkscreen and component placement instructions are on the board so you can`t go wrong.
i built the board in 15 minutes and plugged into my RC2014 and it worked first time.
If you do run into difficulty Dave Curran at Tynemouth Software is very approachable and will soon have you up and running in no time.

overall i think this board compliments the RC2014 and helps free up space on the backplane for future upgrades.
Tynemouth Software is renoun for producing quality products like the minstrel and this CPU Clock and Reset board for the RC2014.
I`d give it a 10/10 anytime.

Marcel | Aug. 30, 2017

Great product, best communication, fast shipping.

For ROM/RAM replacement board for Commodore PET

Replacement board works as expected and is very helpful for troubleshooting and running the old PET/CBM machines. My PET 2001 had a faulty 6502 and some no longer working 6550s. Hard to diagnose for a beginner, but no longer a problem thanks to this board.

Chris | July 13, 2017

High quality nostalgia.

For Minstrel ZX80 Clone in ZX81 case (DISCONTINUED)

I'd wanted one of these for the longest time. So glad I finally got around to it. From start to finish, zero problems, which is always good when you're continents away from a vendor. The build pushed my beginner/ intermediate soldering skills, but it was more rewarding for that, and for what it's worth I suspect that the quality of the board contributed to my success. I had originally intended to source a ZX81 case but, having completed it, I think it's too pretty hide it away -- definitely deserves to be shown off. Not that you'll need a whole lot of support, but communication was easy. Definitely recommended.

New design vintage computer kit.

For Minstrel 2 - ZX80 Clone

I've always wanted a ZX80 kit, this is the perfect substitute.
I had an old stock of Z80 and others chips, so I just ordered only a PCB.
I soldered parts, turned on the power, I got horizontal dashes on the screen instead of character. The total current was 280mA, the voltage on the Z80 pin-11 was 4.75V.
I added a wire between 7805 +5V and Z80 pin-11, and I got the appropriate characters on the screen.
This kit works perfectly.

James | April 24, 2017

Brand new vintage computer kit.

For Minstrel 2 - ZX80 Clone

What a great little kit! As someone that has always wanted a ZX80 rather than the emulated version but not willing to pay £300 odd pound for an original but possibly crumbly version, this is a perfect substitute. I paid for a pre-built version that was very well made. Excellent communications from the seller and a very stable piece of equipment. This is the perfect project for the vinatge computer collector / hacker. I've added a KDLX keyboard to mine and built a nice perspex case to house the much improved, tidied motherboard.

Kim | March 27, 2017

A great little kit with huge possibility.

For Minstrel 2 - ZX80 Clone

A well thought out, good quality components and an affordable project for any amateur electronics engineer.
With through hole design makes the kit easy to assemble and solder. And with Dave Curran only an email away if you get stuck......
To summarise this kit i would say get one you won't regret it.
Regards
Kim
