Questions

How big is the X1 ROMBASIC PCB?

It measures 137 × 140 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the X1 ROMBASIC use?

19 parts, built around the 74LS273PC, 74LS10PC, 74LS139PC and 74LS27P-E. 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 X1 ROMBASIC KiCad files?

From the popolonx/SharpX1 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CZ_8RB_ONEROM/X1_ROMBASIC.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the X1 ROMBASIC design in my own project?

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