Questions

How big is the GKA AT68 PCB?

It measures 35.9 × 68 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GKA AT68 use?

28 parts, built around the PIC16F84A-04/P and 2SC1815. 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 GKA AT68 KiCad files?

From the costarc/X68000-Keyboard-Adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/GKA_AT68.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/GKA_AT68.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GKA AT68 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
