Questions

How big is the Multiplexer PCB?

It measures 236 × 171 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Multiplexer use?

53 parts, built around the 74LS151PC, 74LS04PC, 74LS139PC and 74LS37P-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 Multiplexer KiCad files?

From the ibm2030/EDUC8 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is multiplexer/E8MX:M/multiplexer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Multiplexer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ibm2030 before reusing the design.
