    Hi,

    Finally put my RC2014 kit computer together and now running CP/M
    on it. Very happy with the result.

    Made a video about it:

    Very cool to see it working.
    WordStar and CBASIC and Supercalc, I presume?

    I have yet to try WordStar and Supercalc, but I did install msbasic on
    it and ran that, plus a bunch of text editors. It's a lot of fun.

    Cheers,

    This is really cool! What terminal emulation does the RC2014 use?

    The RC2014 is like the old type CP/M systems in that the terminal end was actually separate hardware.

    My Kaypros, for example, have a "terminal emulator" built in to handle the keyboard and screen and the computer part of the machine simply talks to
    it.

    For the RC2014, you the options of adding a board that does the terminal emulation. The ones that I have all do VT100. Or you can just leave off
    the board and connect via the serial interface using whatever terminal you want.
