KiCad 10 hardware projects copied from the working nu68020/nuBoard directory.
Each daughter project has its own nuBoard.kicadsym, nuBoard.pretty`, and project-relative library tables. Either directory can be copied independently; the only libraries required outside it are the default KiCad 10 libraries. Keep these local libraries with the project when copying or distributing it.
