About
This adapter is an el cheapo version of the Action Replay. In connection with the HRTMon software you can enter a debugger / monitor at any time while your software is running, and mess around with all of memory (infinite lives, yay!)
But Why?
I probably started getting into soldering because I wanted to have one of highpuff's INT7 adapters but I could not buy one from him, simply because the cost of shipping across the Atlantic Ocean would by far exceed the value of the adapter. So I ordered a few PCBs from across the Pacific instead and started soldering PLCC-52 sockets and diodes.
Now, a few months later, I also got an Amiga 500 in my collection, and there didn't seem to be a solution like highpuff's adapter available for the most popular of all Amigas. So, I decided to make one.

Questions
How big is the Paula Int Adapter PCB?
It measures 66.1 × 17.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Paula Int Adapter use?
7 parts. 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 Paula Int Adapter KiCad files?
From the reinauer/Paula-Int-Adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Paula-Int-Adapter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Paula Int Adapter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask reinauer before reusing the design.
