Questions

How big is the Omega ramexpansion PCB?

It measures 137.5 × 75.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Omega ramexpansion use?

21 parts, built around the 74HCT08D. 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 Omega ramexpansion KiCad files?

From the msx-solis/O4MEGA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is omega-ramexpansion_iron/omega-ramexpansion.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Omega ramexpansion design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask msx-solis before reusing the design.
