Longshot - Qubide Extender PCB files

Post by Pr0f »

Hi - it's a long shot, but does anyone have PCB files for Nasta's Qubide extension board?

I have the circuit diagram from an old QL Today copy.

Hi

If there are any PCB files they will be in an old format.

I can recreate the PCB if you require.

The Aurora PCB files given to me were in Protel99SE format, which I was fortunate to import into Altium Designer now in KiCad 8.


Regards,

Derek

Thanks Derek.

I will probably have a stab at making a new board design in Kicad. It was just on the off chance that someone had one.

Hi,

I used GIT to clone the Kicad files:

git clone https://codeberg.org/Zerover/QubIDE-Expander.git

Here is a 3D view of the PCB:

If you require, I can upload a zip file.

It wasn't that one - it was a board with 4 x 40 pin IDE connectors, about 30 x 33R resistors on select and data lines and a 74LS139 chip to decode out 4 busses from the original one, using the 6 pin header that was on the original QUBIDE to provide A4/A5
