From the project

Amiga A500 keyboard HDD LED mod

This repo contains Kicad sources for a board to light up the Disk LED on keyboard on HDD activity.

It is useful to users having an internal HDD controller.

The circuit implements the same schematic as the original A500 FDD LED circuit.

I use JLCPCB with the following options: * PCB Thickness: 1.2
