Overview

Prototype is an open-source printed circuit board by apparentlymart, from the apparentlymart/68k-computer repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 78.7 × 63.5 mm with 47 parts on 92 nets.

Its parts include 15 resistors, 10 capacitors, 10 diodes, 4 ICs and 3 connectors.

This is intended to grow into a homebrew computer design based on the Freescale MC68SEC000 CPU.

However, it doesn't do anything yet.

Questions

How big is the Prototype PCB?

It measures 78.7 × 63.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Prototype use?

47 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 Prototype KiCad files?

From the apparentlymart/68k-computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is prototype/prototype.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Prototype design in my own project?

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