CoCoEPROMpak is a PCB design for an EPROM-based ROM cartridge for the Tandy/TRS-80 Color Computer. It can accept on 2732, 2764, 27128, 27256 or 27512 EPROM. Board thickness must be 0.062". Gold plating is preferable to avoid contact oxidation. Board is designed to the OSHpark design rules for a 2-layer PCB.

When using 27256 or larger EPROMs, the EPROM is divided into 2-4 16k banks which can be selected with jumper settings. Jumper settings are also important for 27256 and smaller EPROMs in order to apply the correct power and control signals to the EPROM.

Questions

How big is the CoCoEPROMpak PCB?

It measures 53.3 × 44.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CoCoEPROMpak use?

7 parts. 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 CoCoEPROMpak KiCad files?

From the jimbro1000/CoCoEPROMpak repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CoCoEPROMpak.kicad_pcb and its schematic CoCoEPROMpak.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CoCoEPROMpak 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).
