Questions
How big is the Support Board PCB?
It measures 233.3 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Support Board use?
44 parts, built around the 74HC14. 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 Support Board KiCad files?
From the FoxCutter/486Dev repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Support Board/Support Board.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 Support Board 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).
