Questions

How big is the Memory loader interface PCB?

It measures 102 × 96 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Memory loader interface use?

10 parts, built around the 74LS245SC. 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 Memory loader interface KiCad files?

From the TomNisbet/sap-plus repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematics/memory-loader-interface/memory-loader-interface.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematics/ab-register/ab-register.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Memory loader interface design in my own project?

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