PCW Backplane
PCW Backplane is an expansion backplane for the Amstrad PCW series of computers (excluding the PcW16).
Features:
- Allows up to four expansion boards to be connected to the computer.
- Has the same pin arrangement as the PCW's expansion edge connector, so existing open source expansions can be used by changing the connector.
- Multiple backplanes can be daisy chained if need be.
- Can use either internal PCW power, or an optional external +5V power supply if more current is required.
Please check the project GitHub page for more details.
This project is licensed under the CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2: CERN-OHL-S.
