Questions

How big is the Motherborard PCB?

It measures 116 × 111 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Motherborard use?

16 parts, built around the 74LS373SC, 74LS00SC and AS6C4008-55PCN. 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 Motherborard KiCad files?

From the nikitaG2011/8088homebrew repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematic/RaArPr/motherborard/motherborard.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematic/RaArPr/motherborard/motherborard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Motherborard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nikitaG2011 before reusing the design.
