This list is in alphabetical order - all pricing is original release pricing


  • 16K Memory Module - DSE X-7205 $79.00 - also called 16K Expansion Module
  • 16K Memory (for VZ300) - DSE X-7306 $84.50 - similar to the VZ200 16K memory module but with different address mapping
  • Datasette (not VZ branded) - DSE X-7206 $39.95 - this was released some time after the original datasette (it was the one I (Andrew Laird) purchased with my original VZ200 purchase) and was promoted for use with the VZ200
  • David Newcombe's 18K RAM Pack - for VZ300 $70.00 (approx)
  • David Newcombe's 64K ROM Pack - $55.00 (approx) Memory mapped to cartridge area. Included a menu on EPROM. Commonly used programs could be burnt to EPROM and loaded instantly.
  • David Newcombe's Buffer Board - $60.75 (approx) Allows additional devices to be plugged into the VZ computer. Buffered address, data and some signal lines. Protected Z80 from experimentation damage.

NOTE: it is not clear whether David's products were just prototypes or whether he actually went on to produce and sell these items.

  • Disk Controller - DSE X-7304 $89.00 - contained DOS and the interface circuitry for the disk drive. Has a piggyback slot for the RAM expansion.
  • Disk Drive - DSE X-7302 $299.00 - the ultimate VZ peripheral

  • VZ300 Datasette - DSE X-7310 $69.50 - identical to the VZ200 Datasette apart from labelling
  • VZ300 Joysticks - DSE X-7315 $49.50 - identical to the earlier joysticks
