SDCardShield/README.mdSDCardShield
A version of the SD Card shield that was originally developed by Corsham Technologies for the SWTPC. It has been modified to work with the MECB I/O board (PIA port) and makes use of Adafruit modules to implement the realtime clock:

Questions
How big is the MECB IDE PCB?
It measures 99.8 × 99.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MECB IDE use?
20 parts, built around the ATF22V10C-15PU and 74AHCT04D. 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 MECB IDE KiCad files?
From the epaell/MECB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MECB_IDE/v0.1/MECB_IDE.kicad_pcb and its schematic 68008Tester/68008test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MECB IDE design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask epaell before reusing the design.
