Questions

How big is the Xt cf PCB?

It measures 100.4 × 96 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Xt cf use?

34 parts, built around the 74LS04PC, 74LS32SC and 74LS33PC. 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 Xt cf KiCad files?

From the monotech/XT-CF-RA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is xt-cf.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Xt cf 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).
