Mgh80
About the Mgh80 PCB
Mgh80 is an open source PCB design by Kris-Sekula, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 100 × 100 mm, with 32 components from 24 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 74HC00, Z80CPU, HM62256B, 27C256 and 8255A. By type, the board carries 9 capacitors, 7 resistors, 5 ICs, 4 connectors, 3 crystals and 3 diodes.
It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.
From the project
Simple 5 IC Z80 singe-board computer
In version 1.4 I've added an LED to port PA0 of the 8255, this way you can test "blinky" program without connecting external LED (similar to how it is done on a traditional Arduino board)
