Questions

How big is the PC2AmigaFDD PCB?

It measures 99.4 × 20.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PC2AmigaFDD use?

18 parts, built around the 74LVC2G38GT. 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 PC2AmigaFDD KiCad files?

From the Akutra/PC2AmigaFloppy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PC2AmigaFDD.kicad_pcb and its schematic PC2AmigaFDD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PC2AmigaFDD 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).
