Questions

What parts does the CompaqportableIII use?

123 parts, built around the PAL16L8-5JC, 74F245D, 74LS125DC and 74LS245SC. 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 CompaqportableIII KiCad files?

From the raymondh2/CompaqPortableIII repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is compaqportableIII_mainboard/compaqportableIII.kicad_pcb and its schematic CompaqPortableIIIexpansionbackplane/CompaqPortableIIIexpansionbackplane.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CompaqportableIII design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask raymondh2 before reusing the design.
