Questions
How big is the HC MemoryBoard PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HC MemoryBoard use?
607 parts, built around the 74HC541D, 74HC138, 74HC30S and 74HC32D. 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 HC MemoryBoard KiCad files?
From the nasu8151/HC4 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HC_MemoryBoard/HC_MemoryBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic HC4_KiCad/HC4_KiCad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HC MemoryBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nasu8151 before reusing the design.
