Datapoint 2200 Schematics and Documents
This is my project to transcribe the schematics for a Datapoint 2200 serial processor machine, reverse engineer them, and recreate the original hardware with added blinkenlights.
The repository contains schematics, PCB layout files, documents and software relevant to the 2200.
The schematics are in Kicad 5 format (at least until I make my peace with the UI in newer versions). To open them you may need to import the symbol library in Datapoint2200.lib and the Datapoint2200.pretty folder.
