This repo currenly contains:

  • Non-exact replica of Howard Arington's four voice sound system
  • SMD version of the above with provisions for all 8 bits of data
  • Fairly close replica of Howard Arington's 2716 programmer
  • Fairly close replica of ROM PAC PCB with mods based on RAM PAC description
  • ROM PAC 'condom' to just not pass through pin 28 for modified sorcerers that have the /WR line there
    • This board also has a spot for a ribbon cable for expansion use to a cart switcher PCB
  • Internal SRAM PCB that can replace any 16K bank of the sorcerer 1 or 2 up to 48K and can add an extra 8K up to 56K

Upcoming boards:

  • ROM PAC multi-port expander with jumpers for locating them in memory
  • S100 card for connecting the sorcerer to a generic S100 chassis
  • Exidy S100 Chassis replica PCB

Questions

How big is the Sorcerer Rom Pack PCB?

It measures 127 × 73.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sorcerer Rom Pack use?

88 parts, built around the A13 and 74LS11DC. 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 Sorcerer Rom Pack KiCad files?

From the abzman/Exidy-Sorcerer-Stuff repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Sorcerer Rom Pack/Sorcerer Rom Pack.kicad_pcb and its schematic Arrington 4 voice equivalent SMD/Arrington 4 voice equivalent SMD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sorcerer Rom Pack design in my own project?

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