About the C64 Motherboard KU-14194HB PCB
C64 Motherboard KU-14194HB is an open source PCB design by baldengineer, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 390.2 × 180.3 mm, with 220 components from 91 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the CIA_U1, CIA_U2, 2364A, 2332A and 2114. By type, the board carries 96 capacitors, 34 resistors, 32 ICs, 26 inductors, 10 connectors and 5 transistors.
It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.
From the project
Project for capturing vintage, classic, aka old computer schematics in KiCad.
The KU14194HB C64 Motherboard schematics and layout. Retraced in and imported from SprintLayout. This less common board was an interim board produced in 1982, and wasproduced between the 326298 (1982) and 250407 (1983).
This KiCad design is a replica. It includes the mistakes that Commodore made. It is necessary to cut a trace above R37 on the bottom side, and add a 1K resistor from R37 and up to a via. See the images folder to where to cut and add a resistor. Piggyback a 100nF capacitor over CR1. Notice how the main crystal oscillator Y1 body is grounded with a wire.
