Questions
How big is the Keyboard interface PCB?
It measures 150 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyboard interface use?
76 parts, built around the 74LS02PC, 74LS05P-E, 74LS123FP-E and 74LS132P-E. 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 Keyboard interface KiCad files?
From the ibm2030/EDUC8 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is octal. keyboard/octal keyboard/Keyboard interface.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keyboard interface design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ibm2030 before reusing the design.
