In this repo you will find all the files neccesary to order your pcb. Please note that even though this design has been tested, there's still a risk of errors present in the design.

Whatever you do, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES close both jumbers at the same time!!! Doing so will send 12V into the 5V power cirquit of your computer and damage it.

By using this repository you agree that the author will not be held responsible for any damage to your hardware in any way.

Questions

How big is the MOS6566 Adapter PCB?

It measures 35.2 × 77.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MOS6566 Adapter use?

14 parts, built around the 74HCT245, 74HCT573D and 74HCT04D. 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 MOS6566 Adapter KiCad files?

From the RetroWizzard/MOS6566_Adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MOS6566_Adapter.kicad_pcb and its schematic MOS6566_Adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MOS6566 Adapter design in my own project?

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