Questions

How big is the Mmu PCB?

It measures 91.4 × 88.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mmu use?

10 parts, built around the 74LS32SC and 74LS04PC. 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 Mmu KiCad files?

From the isolenta/bc80 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bc80/mmu/mmu.kicad_pcb and its schematic bc80/bc80.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mmu design in my own project?

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