Questions

How big is the ZXSwinSID PCB?

It measures 78.4 × 49.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ZXSwinSID use?

69 parts, built around the ATMEGA88PA-AU, NE5532DRE4, PTV09A-2020F-A503 and LFSPXO019083. 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 ZXSwinSID KiCad files?

From the schenkmi/Cartridges repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ZX Spectrum/ZXSwinSID/ZXSwinSID.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ZXSwinSID 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).
