From the project

A daisy-chainable Smartport hard drive for the Apple II

In this directory are the Kicad sources for the different PCBs. Variations exist: - -Angled: For a right-angle, PCB-type DB19F connector (otherwise, panel-mount (solder cups) connector required) - -THT: Through-hold PCB. Will require an Arduino and SD module - *-SMD: SMD PCB with the Atmega328p integrated, and the microSD where applicable

PCBs families: - BurgerDisk: The simpler PCB, with more enclosures options (Full or micro SD) - Mini: Everything integrated, for the Mini enclosure - Domino: Everything integrated, as small as possible. - (micro)SD-module: the card readers for the BurgerDisk
