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 Z180-comp PCB?
It measures 99.3 × 88.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Z180-comp use?
64 parts, built around the MAX232N, 74HC04D, 74HC32D and 74HC74D. 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 Z180-comp KiCad files?
From the 89Mods/misc-computers repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Z180/HW/Z180-comp.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 Z180-comp 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).
