PCB68

Description

Breadboard computers are fun but not very durable...

When I grew tired of hunting for whichever wire had come loose every time I took out BB68, I made this very simple 2-layer PCB and just moved all the parts over.

Traces on the bottom so I can see what is going on, big ground pour on top with just a few links. Works very well with a 10MHz crystal.

And yes that is a 68010 mounted, and yes it works. It runs the Byte magazine Sieve benchmark a whopping 9% faster than the 68000.

The three 20pin connectors are for attaching HP/Agilent Termination Adaptors for easy hookup to the logic analyzer.
