Questions

How big is the Latest Full Backplane PCB?

It measures 304.5 × 217.2 mm and has 4 copper layers, 0.57 mm thick.

What parts does the Latest Full Backplane use?

478 parts, built around the 74LS245SC, 74HC245D, 74LS574N and 74LS193P-E. 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 Latest Full Backplane KiCad files?

From the Trilobyte-CPU/8-bit-computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCBs/99_IN PROGRESS/Latest-Full-Backplane/Latest-Full-Backplane.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Latest Full Backplane design in my own project?

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