Questions

How big is the 64kCart PCB?

It measures 58.2 × 49.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 64kCart use?

11 parts, built around the 74LS04PC and 74LS173SC. 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 64kCart KiCad files?

From the hackup/64kCart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 64kCart.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 64kCart design in my own project?

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