Questions

How big is the Vmw e7 PCB?

It measures 70.6 × 88.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Vmw e7 use?

9 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 Vmw e7 KiCad files?

From the deater/vcs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/e7_cart/vmw-e7/vmw-e7.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/e7_cart/vmw-e7/vmw-e7.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Vmw e7 design in my own project?

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