Questions

How big is the MSX 4Slot Expander PCB?

It measures 149 × 167 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MSX 4Slot Expander use?

78 parts, built around the 74HCT541D, 74HC245D, 74LS240DC and IH0512D. 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 MSX 4Slot Expander KiCad files?

From the LVina/MSX4SlotExpander repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MSX_4Slot_Expander/MSX_4Slot_Expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic MSX_4Slot_Expander/MSX_4Slot_Expander-Buffer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MSX 4Slot Expander design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
