Overview

QIC02EMU is an open-source printed circuit board by MattisLind, from the MattisLind/QIC02EMU repository on GitHub, published under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 95.3 × 76.2 mm with 25 parts on 69 nets, routed with 463 tracks and 41 vias.

It is built around the 74ABT241CSC and 74LVC1G04Z. Its parts include 7 resistors, 4 capacitors, 4 ICs and 4 connectors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

QIC02EMU

Schematic

Device that is supposed to emulate a generic QIC-02 tape drive or specifically the IBM6157 tape drive. The IBM 6157 contains a Cipher 450 tape drive. But has a 37 pin DUSB interface cable rather than the 50 pin IDC type connector.

The card is supposed to plug directly into the IBM RT PC 6157 streaming tape controller board without using any cable.

Initially only reading of tape will be supported but later on writing will be implemented.

Questions

How big is the QIC02EMU PCB?

It measures 95.3 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the QIC02EMU use?

25 parts, built around the 74ABT241CSC and 74LVC1G04Z. 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 QIC02EMU KiCad files?

From the MattisLind/QIC02EMU repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is QIC02EMU/QIC02EMU.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the QIC02EMU design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
