Questions

How big is the Flash-32mbit PCB?

It measures 96.3 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.

What parts does the Flash-32mbit use?

33 parts, built around the AS6C1008-55SIN, RP2040-TINY, SN74LVC1G04DBV and BAT54C. 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 Flash-32mbit KiCad files?

From the partlyhuman/floopydrive repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/flash-32mbit/flash-32mbit.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/cart-connector/cart-connector.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flash-32mbit 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).
