Questions

How big is the 2600cart PCB?

It measures 41.3 × 46.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2600cart use?

4 parts, built around the 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 2600cart KiCad files?

From the ivop/atari2600cart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/2600cart.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2600cart design in my own project?

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