Questions

How big is the Timer RTC PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 104.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Timer RTC use?

20 parts, built around the 74LS04PC and 74LS32SC. 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 Timer RTC KiCad files?

From the jayvalentine/modular-z80 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Timer_RTC/Timer_RTC.kicad_pcb and its schematic Banked_RAM_Higher/Banked_RAM_Higher.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Timer RTC design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
