- **Monitor**: You will need monitor with 15-pin VGA input that can handle 800x600 resolution @ 60 Hz. Most higher resolution LCD panels will up-scale the image, but the quality of the scaling may not be ideal. A CRT will give a better image, but you may need to wind up the contrast and brightness to get a workable picture. An old 800x600 native resolution LCD would be ideal.

- **Power Supply**: You need a standard mobile phone charger or other USB power source, and a standard USB A to B cable (like you would use for a USB printer).

- **Ribbon cables**: The DB25 Parallel Port and DE9 RS-232 Serial port require a 2.54mm pin header to D-Sub ribbon cable. You can scavenge them from an old PC, or buy them new from Amazon, eBay or AliExpress for a few UK pounds.

- **USB**: The Tiva-C Launchpad has a USB micro-AB connector into which you can plug a Raspberry Pi Zero compatible micro-A to full-size A adaptor. There is no USB support in firmware yet, and the board can only supply a limited amount of current, so don't expect your mobile phone to charge.
