Parts Lists for the ArcDOS Hardware
This is an incomplete list of components used in the ArcDOS system some of
the things omitted are the screws, nuts, nutserts, rivets, hook up wire, heat
shrink tube, crimp lugs, paint, loctite.....the list goes on.
This information is included to highlight that this is not a trivial task. It is
a large and complex system that costs a lot of money there is around AUD10,000
worth of components and a lot of hours work to build one of these systems.
NOTE some of the components in the schematics are not the ones used, they are just the same packages - I did not have time to make the proper components for the PCB layout editor
