This folder contains the kicad source files to construct a clone of the Sega SC-3000 BASIC IIIB cartridge that uses UM61512 SRAM instead of the original DRAM, which makes it also compatible with the SK-1100-equipped SG-1000.

Questions

How big is the Sg1000 PCB?

It measures 162.2 × 134.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sg1000 use?

89 parts, built around the 27C256-17/J, 74HCT574D, 74LS257PC and 74LS32SC. 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 Sg1000 KiCad files?

From the barbeque/sg1000 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sg1000.kicad_pcb and its schematic cartridges/basic-iiib/basic3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sg1000 design in my own project?

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