Description

The file below is the PCB Layout for a standard plus cartridge with

a few minor changes:

- No LKs are bridged by default

- LKs use standard PCB jumpers for quick swapping

- All vias are done at component pins to reduce drilling and soldering


Building the Cartridge

The PCB dimensions are identical to an original cartridge and will fit in the original housing. The PCB used should be 1.5mm thick with double-sided 35µm copper.

Components should be mounted on the side with the ground plain. The capacitor is 100nf.

The Layout file is as always mirror imaged.
