Questions

What parts does the Z80-computer use?

25 parts, built around the 74LS32SC and 74LS14PC. 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 Z80-computer KiCad files?

From the msfoley/z80-computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is z80_computer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Z80-computer design in my own project?

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