Questions

How big is the Design68 PCB?

It measures 301.2 × 91.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Design68 use?

102 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 Design68 KiCad files?

From the demik/oldworld repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EDA/Design68/ISO/Design68.kicad_pcb and its schematic EDA/68k-nano+/68000sbc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Design68 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
