Questions

How big is the Xt8086 beta PCB?

It measures 99.5 × 80 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Xt8086 beta use?

258 parts, built around the LM358, USBLC6-2SC6, CH217K and SN74HCT04DR (LX). 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 Xt8086 beta KiCad files?

From the rh1tech/frank-lab repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is xt8086_beta/xt8086_beta.kicad_pcb and its schematic dino_z80/boot.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Xt8086 beta design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
