What is it?

This project consists on an minimalistic expansion card with 3 ISA slots for the Amstrad PPC512 and Amstrad PPC640 "portable" computers from 1988. These computers are based on the NEC V30 (8086 compatible) with either 512KB or 640KB of RAM respectively and they expose all the signals of the standard ISA slots on two D-sub connectors on their backs.

Why did you make it?

The main reason for creating it was to be able to connect external ISA cards to the Amstrad PPC computer. With this card you'll be able to connect things like a sound card, an IDE controller card or even a VGA card. It will allow you to expand the Amstrad PPC in ways one could only dream of back in the late 80s.

What makes it special?

There are currently two known ISA expansion card for the Amstrad PPC computers (check on youtube for the other one). The one I made is very minimalistic and can be easily placed inside a 3D printed case, and have it fit perfectly along side the Amstrad PPC computer.

Check the project page to see it in action.

What you'll get

There are two product options:

PCB Only: you will receive a bare PCB with building instructions. It's up to you to source the components and solder them to the PCB.
Fully Assembled Board: you will get a fully built and tested board.

No 3mm screws/nuts will be included in either of the product options. Screws and nuts should be pretty easy to source locally and adding them to the PCB is trivial.

No country selected, please select your country to see shipping options.
