The 46 most common of 50 parts.
It measures 78.7 × 58.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
50 parts, built around the 74LS245SC, 74LS173SC, A1 and A2. 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.
From the codemonkey76/DIY-8-Bit-Computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Register A/register-a.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask codemonkey76 before reusing the design.
