SAKURA, Amiga pcmcia sram

4MB of Fast RAM for unexpanded Amiga 600/1200. Original desig by Jarosław Bieliński and Radosław Kujawa. The informations about the original version of this board can be found here: https://github.com/Sakura-IT/ppa-pcmcia-sram

Since the original version, some components, like the RAM, are became difficult to find, so, many revisions of this board was made in order to use available components. In 2018 the project was updated again and ported to KiCad by jensma: https://github.com/jensma/ppa-pcmcia-sram This revision is based on his work.

Board

Summary

Some components like the RAM are available but not cheap. On the jensma revision also the PCB was not cheap, because he used small tracks and vias. The main goal of this revision is to made the PCB as cheaper as possible. This make this expansion a little more affordable.
