STD BUS Prototype card

#1 Post by JoeHammer » 16 Aug 2025, 20:01

Hello,

Attached is a RAR file of a STD BUS Prototype card I designed. It includes both schematic (dch) and pcb
(dip) Diptrace layout source files. Diptrace version 4.3.0.5 was utilized for this project.

I additionally include in a zip file within this RAR file, the gerbers generated from DipTrace PCB so that
you may submit to a pcb maker of your choosing this present design as it is if you like it! Also, in this rar,
are front and back photos of the actual finished pcb.

Like many other people out there, I'm retired now and I like to tinker with older computer systems and STD BUS
is one of those. While there are some good pcb options out there in the public (including various commercial
proto boards), I personally don't prefer any of them and none of them provide the source files for me to make
changes to them.

So, I finally got off my bottom and designed my own. With this basic design, I can make subsequent modifications
and additions without reinventing the wheel every time. I'm releasing this design to the public with the source
files so others can make modifications without reinventing the wheel also!

This effort is based upon various design features of numerous pcb's I identified on the 'net and elsewhere.

I'm releasing this design to the public at large for non-commercial purposes only.

Should you find this design useful and if you would like to contact me, feel free to contact me here on
the Diptrace forum or at my email address of STDBUS@joehammer.us.

Signed,

Joseph M. Hammer Jr.
