LambdaBoard for Amstrad / Schneider CPC

2 layer board of 3.76 x 3.01 inches (95.4 x 76.4 mm)
Uploaded: June 20, 2018
Shared: July 03, 2018
Total Price: $56.45

A MX4-compatible CPC expansion board backplane for the Amstrad / Schneider CPC. Unlike similar expansion boards (e.g., MotherX4), LambdaBoard supports edge connector-based hardware (DD1, DDI3, DKtronics speech synthesizer, SSA-1 speech synthesizer, …)

The PCB tracks are extra-thick, for good signal and power conductivity.

Using a 3 to 4 inch long connection cable to the CPC’s expansion port, I am able to use XMem or Piotr’s 4 MB memory expansion in slot 1 and have the DDI3 connected at the edge at the same time on my CPC 464, without any problems.

Notice that memory expansions such as XMem etc. are extremely picky regarding cable length and signal timings. If you had problem (like I) using XMem and other hardware simultaneously and reliably, then this might be the solution for you.
