CoCo Prototyping Board

This is a basic prototyping board for the Color Computer cartridge port.

Everything has been entered into the public domain so feel free to make them, sell them, modify the design, or use the board outline in your own CoCo designs.

The board has been sized to the 100mm x 100mm size that is the limit for very low cost board production at some PCB vendors. For prototyping purposes, the lead free HASL finish will typically leave you with very nicely tinned fingers on the edge connector. An ENIG finish is not recommended - the gold plate is extremely thin and will wear off very quickly. Hard gold plated fingers is fine, however likely overkill for prototypes.

Gerbers are provided in the Gerbers folder.

Questions

How big is the CoCoProtoBoard PCB?

It measures 100 × 96 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CoCoProtoBoard use?

865 parts. 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 CoCoProtoBoard KiCad files?

From the JayesonLS/TandyCircuitsAndLogic repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CoCoProtoBoard/CoCoProtoBoard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CoCoProtoBoard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask JayesonLS before reusing the design.
