“RC-BOX” is a classic 1984 “RBBS” bulletin board system utilizing a RC2014 (Z80 based) computer kit running the “CP/M” operating system and “BYE” communication program to interface with the outside world.

On the hardware side a RC2014 with 64KB RAM, RomWBW ROM module, SIO/2 dual-serial module and Wifi module make up a CP/M capable 7 MHz Z80 machine that powers this bulletin board system.

You can also access a (restricted) CP/M command line and enjoy a round of “Super Star Trek”:
