No eagle file since i don't use eagle. It's a LAYOUT based pcb (Cadence - Orcad)

I made a PCB from a very slightly changed design made by Pryanick using Eagle (*.brd file).

If I get Jeff's permission I can send you the Eagle files as well as the layout diagram. The only change compared to the original prototype is a changed power section (can be directly connected to floppy power cable, no special power adapter needed). It is 100% software compatible with the original prototype.

Non-Eagle version

Post by alexfreed »

I was making an unrelated prototype board and since the incremental cost for merging a second area to the same board was virtually zero I did a quick and dirty prototype of the Jeff's *new* design - a single TTL chip. Not much attempt made at miniaturization but the board is about 1/2 the size of the original single-layer board.
It won't be hard to fit ALL the electronics under the LCD screen so that the whole board could fit into a 3.5" floppy opening in a standard PC style case.

Anyway since Jeff promised a software update to match the changed design I'll wait for that rather than trying to modify the old one.

I'll be happy to share the Gerbers and/or the design file. I use Altium Designer, not Eagle.

wow. the board looks very fine.
the only (bad) thing i think is that its not so easy to put it in an amiga (internal).
but i´m sure there will be a solution to use it internal. (or 2 different layouts?)
