About the Xt isa umb PCB

Xt isa umb is an open source PCB design by zyga64, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 94 × 60.5 mm, with 14 components from 9 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the 74LS138, 74LS08, AS6C1008 and 74HCT245. By type, the board carries 5 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 jumpers, 2 resistors and 1 connector.

From the project

UMB memory expansion (128kB) for IBM PC (XT) and clones

With this card, you can add 128 kB of continuous UMB memory in the D0000 - EFFFF area, or only 64 kB in the D0000 - DFFFF or E0000 - EFFFF areas.

Original schematic diagram was drawn by Ruud Baltissen (VCF forum thread): https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/loading-dos-high-on-a-xt.32320/ The idea for the printed circuit board layout borrowed from Adrian Black: https://github.com/misterblack1/isa-ram-expansion 8 bit ISA footprint from Sergey Kiselev: https://github.com/skiselev/mykicad_library
