NODE DATAPAC 256K historical reproduction is an open source PCB design by bkw777: a 2-layer, 254 × 43.2 mm board with 22 components (19 distinct parts). It is built around the HC161, HC138, HC574, AS6C4008-55STIN and more.

Reproduction & documentation of Node Systems DATAPAC

This repo documents the NODE Systems DATAPAC, rampac, and a new clone, the MiniNDP.

The NODE Systems DATAPAC/rampac was a popular ram disk peripheral for TRS-80 / TANDY Models 100, 102, & 200 computers.

The schematic and PCB below documents the DATAPAC.

rampac is a smaller later version of the same device that uses fewer larger sram chips and replaces most of the discrete logic IC's with a single PLD, but functions exactly the same.
