Questions
How big is the Z80board PCB?
It measures 218.4 × 134.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Z80board use?
42 parts, built around the 74LS00SC and LM7805. 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 Z80board KiCad files?
From the rcapaverde/z80board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/mainboard/mainboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/mainboard/mainboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Z80board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rcapaverde before reusing the design.
