From the project

Recreation of the main board PCB for NEC's PC Engine Duo console.

This repository contains a recreation of the main board PCB for NEC's PC Engine Duo console. The recreation is based on the available schematics for the TurboGrafx-16 and additional reverse engineering using scanned images of an original board's copper layers, so should be a reasonably accurate reproduction.
