Pico506
hmerrett/pico506-pcb
A dedicated PCB for the Pico506 ST-506/MFM/RLL hard drive emulator: two-layer, 138 × 74 mm, all through-hole, with real card-edge tabs so it plugs into a period ST-506 control/data cable pair the same way an ST-225 does.

The AM26LS31CN is a RS 485 , RS 422 IC made by Texas Instruments in a DIP-16 package with 16 pins. 0 0℃~+70℃ 4 4.75V~5.25V 80mA Driver DIP-16 RS-485 / RS-422 ICs ROHS.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Interface:AM26LS31CN, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_DIP:DIP-16_W7.62mm, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. 468 are in stock at JLCPCB (part C29911). 1 open-source board in 1 repository on GitHub use it.
