TMS2V

This project aims to allow a V9938 VDP to be installed in place of a TMS9918A. Since the V9938 is (largely) backwards compatible with the TMS9918A, existing software for upgraded systems should still function as normal. Besides interposing the 40-pin socket that the TMS9918A plugged into, an extra address line may be attacked to the bus to allow for addressing of the addition 2 ports found on the V9938.

Questions

How big is the TMS2V PCB?

It measures 73 × 80.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TMS2V use?

37 parts, built around the BC547. 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 TMS2V KiCad files?

From the tergav17/TMS2V repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TMS2V.kicad_pcb and its schematic TMS2V.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TMS2V design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask tergav17 before reusing the design.
