Contains hardware schematics and PCB design files (if applicable) for each computer, as well as example software.

I hope this repo will help people with building their own computers. You can either re-build one of the systems from here, or reference my code and schematics when designing your own.

Questions

How big is the BE6502 PCB?

It measures 139.2 × 112.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BE6502 use?

60 parts, built around the SK9822, 74AHC1G04SE, 74AHC1G14GV and 74HC00D. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the BE6502 KiCad files?

From the 89Mods/misc-computers repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BE6502/HW/BE6502.kicad_pcb and its schematic 8X305/HW/8X305.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BE6502 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
