This PCB is intended for makers, retro-computing enthusiasts, and developers building a versatile computer inspired by the golden age of home computing.
Note: This product is a front-panel PCB, not a complete computer. Electronic components, display, switches, and other hardware are not included unless explicitly specified in the product configuration.
This universal front-panel PCB is designed for the PICOZX and NEXTUS retro-computing projects.
It features a keyboard layout inspired by the classic ZX Spectrum, combined with dedicated areas for a display,
navigation controls, function buttons, and other interface elements.
Unlike a traditional ZX Spectrum keyboard, the key legends do not include fixed BASIC commands.
This makes the design suitable for a multi-platform retro computer,
where the same keyboard can be used with different computer architectures and operating environments.
NEXTUS is planned to support multiple classic computer platforms,
including ZX Spectrum, Atari 800, MSX2+, and Commodore 64 (C64).
The neutral key legends provide a versatile layout without tying the physical keyboard to the command system of a single platform.
