From the project

This is a single expansion board designed for the Tandy 1000 EX and HX computers, to include the following upgrades:

This is a single expansion board designed for the Tandy 1000 EX and HX computers, to include the following upgrades:

640KB Base System Memory and 96KB Upper Memory 16550-based DE9 Serial RS232 Port XT-IDE based CompactFlash "Hard Drive" Integrated DS1315 "Smartwatch" Real Time Clock (Optional)

This is an SMD variant of my original "Tandy 1000 EX/HX 3-in-1" which I was able to shrink down to 100x100mm. With the space that I had left over, I added provisions for an optional DS1315 based "Smartwatch" RTC, and added a bus passthrough header.
