About the Gd MEGA-65c02 proto PCB

Gd MEGA-65c02 proto is an open source PCB design by baldengineer, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 98.8 × 100 mm, with 56 components from 35 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the w65c02s, Apple_MEGA_II, 74HCT245, 27C512 and DRAM64KX4. By type, the board carries 13 resistors, 12 connectors, 11 capacitors, 9 ICs, 5 test points and 2 diodes.

From the project

Using the Mega II from a IIgs to make a Apple IIe compatible computer: The Mega IIe!

The Proto PCBs are boards to prototype an IIe from the IIgs ASICs. Eventually, these will be condensed to a single board.

It connects to both the VGC and 6502 boards. The VGC connects with a 40-pin cable, like an IDE cable. The 6502 connects with a couple of ribbon cables.

The VGC also generates the 14 MHz clock from a 28 MHz oscilliator. (It is not clear yet which clocks the MEGA-II generates and which the VGC does.)
