README
README.mdISA 8-bit Backplane
Compact ISA 8-bit Backplane board
Introduction
This backplane was designed as a smaller version of Micro ATX ISA Backplane. It can be used to build a compact IBM PC/XT compatible system using the Micro 8088 processor board, and the 8-bit ISA cards that I've designed: ISA Super VGA, ISA Floppy Disk and Serial Controller, XT-CF-Lite, ISA OPL2.

Specifications
- 7 ISA 8-bit (62 pin) slots
- ATX power supply connector, and ATX power control circuit
- Bi-color activity LED, that changes the color when the processor is executing the code (the color changes every time A7 address line changes its value)
- The form factor is (mostly) compatible with ATX / Micro ATX
- Pads for optional termination resistors

Questions
How big is the Isa backplane PCB?
It measures 116.8 × 154.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Isa backplane use?
61 parts, built around the 74HCT14D, 74HCT74D and LM7905CT. 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 Isa backplane KiCad files?
From the skiselev/isa8_backplane repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/isa_backplane.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Isa backplane 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).
