SR-2607: RC2014 First Boot & CP/M https://video.chasmcity.net/videos/watch/5976ca77-e512-4ed6-8aaa-4616afd04287 Finally! Time to power on the assembled RC2014 and boot CP/M. We'll bring up one board at a time, discovering the Z80 based design of the RC2014 as we go along. We'll also take a first look at CP/M, the disk operating system for microcomputers from the 70s/80s, install some software and assemble my work-in-progress city simulator game.

Especially as I thought it would be handy to plug the cord in first when you started picking up the meter probes. LOL!

Cool peertube werkt gewoon op mastodon en in mijn browser. Waarom weten de publieke omroepen dit nog niet?
