The RC2014 Universal Front Panel I/O Kit is one kit, but ships as two separate PCBs connected by a ribbon cable: the I/O Module (plugs into the RC2014 backplane, decodes I/O port 0, drives the LED/switch logic over the Z80 I/O bus, includes a DS1233 reset supervisor) and the Front Panel (the physical board carrying the actual 8 switches and 8 LEDs plus reset switch/power LED, no logic of its own).
