Questions

How big is the Backplane PCB?

It measures 304.8 × 243.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Backplane use?

35 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 Backplane KiCad files?

From the FoxCutter/486Dev repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Backplane/Backplane.kicad_pcb and its schematic 486 Board/486 Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Backplane design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
