Here's a look at using a variety of RC2014 peripherals with the interface. For these, I'm just using it with my trusty ZX Spectrum+, but the interface is designed for any model. I've a +2 and a ZX Spectrum Next dev board, so I've ensured the PCB fits around the HDMI port on that.
Another year just about gone, here's a quick hardware roundup of what I released during 2021!
In August I released 'ZX True Tone' (ZXTT) to generate the correct frequency to match the #ZXSpectrum's AY soundchip for Ed Brindley's #RC2014 YM/AY Soundcard.

While the AY/YM chips can use a clock up to 2MHz, the #ZXSpectrum used 1.7734MHz. So if listening to Spec music at a higher freq it'll be pitched higher, likewise lower pitch with lower freq. So I created ZXTT to let me listen to ZXSpectrum music at the exactly the correct pitch.
The end of August and start of September saw the release of two general expansion cards for the #SAMCoupe, larger versions of previous cards.

Guess who got a new @oshpark sticker today!
All strapped in for a mere 480 solder joints!
Probably the smallest 12 slot #RC2014 backplane ever!
Time to finally assemble the RC2014 Micro - Single Board Z80 Computer Kit that I received from @ZxSpectROM !! Thank you again 🤩😎😁

Assembly of the RC2014 going well so far.
Soldering up the @ZxSpectROM RC2014 Micro #Z80 was pretty easy. I'm glad the enclosed printed instructions clarified the A14 and A15 soldered jumpers to GND (not as clear on web). A13 has selectable jumper for MS BASIC or SCM Monitor.
