Questions

How big is the MemoryAndPeripherals PCB?

It measures 150 × 90 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MemoryAndPeripherals use?

30 parts, built around the MAX232CPE(LX). 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 MemoryAndPeripherals KiCad files?

From the daveho/DIY8bit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Episode18/HardwareDesign/MemoryAndPeripherals.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MemoryAndPeripherals design in my own project?

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